SFC single seat in Jota

This is my pal Neils triple with a Monty seat on, I will try and find a side on pic, there is a gentle curve on the base but that can obviously be catered for when making the brackets, his seat fits fine and has a handy "boot" for your sarnies.

You dont have to cut the rear mudguard, , it is better imho to make a new splash guard to fit the frontal area out of aluminium and leave your mudguard intact for another day  8)

Will you be selling the original tail piece? Mine is a bit beat-up, so a replacement would be nice.

Hi Dellortoman,

Sorry, but I want and I have to keep the original pieces.

This is because here in Spain every 2 years the Traffic authority check the bike, and no midifications are allowed. The bike have to be 100% original ... otherwise you msut stop the bike untill you return to the original one.
 
Does the SFC seat fit over the standard seat pivots on the left and locking plate on the right or do they have to be removed? Would be nice to have the option of both seats.
 
You would have to reinforce the fibreglass seat base I think.
Several folk rubber mount the SFC seat base to ptotect it from vibes.

I have seen hinged SFC seats on triples but it sort of buggers up the look and the purpose to me.
 
Hey

I have done the conversion last year...  My 1200 seat was crap and the tail light was broken. I also didnt have a grab rail and the hinge brackets for the seat was missing. So for me it was easier just to fit a SFC seat. I bought one from Wolfgang. I had to make it longer. I think about 70mm. I used the M8 holes to mount the seat with my indicators. O, and I bought a round tail light. Think Wolfgang said it is a Ducati unit.

At the end of the day it cost me less to do this than to go standard. And I like it more...

nice job there Scorch
one of the best SFC seat conversions I have seen
I like those 1200 tanks

top job
 
I agree with Red. A very fine conversion.
The whole bike flows together.
The black/white numbers/circle on the tailpiece really set it off.
 
Thanks guys.... :D

Rob, I went to a upholstery place and got some foam...  You know, the thick ones that looks like recycled foam... Glued it to my tail piece and used a knife to cut the shape. Then I used a thin foam sheet over it all. I took the seat to the upholstery place and they finished the job. Cost me R100...  10 Euros in real money... :D
