Odd request here - when I got my SFC seat recovered the bloke doing it had to cut off the mounting points for the pillion cover and I forgot to get the remains of them back.

I'm not complaining about this, he did a cracking job of recovering the seat but now I want to use the pillion cover again but I've no way of attaching it...

Looking in the parts book the cover attaches by 3 M6 x 20 screws into the 3 mounting points. As I remember them the mountings were, effectively, M10 bolts with an M6 hole up the middle.

Can any of the SFC1000 owners have a quick look at their seats & confirm this? A picture or 2 would be even better  :D as would some nice person telling me they can sell me some  :D.

I'm hoping I can get away with taking a counter sunk M10 allen screw & drilling / tapping the inside to M6 so I can put the seat hump back on. Either that, or I can get a mate who does CNC work as a hobby to make me something that will work, but knowing what size I need would be a help

cheers

Bob,

These are mine - a little crusty (still need to get them re-blacked) but the photo should give you an idea what you need.  The threaded portion of two is 20,0 mm long and the third 15,5 mm.  The thread is 10,0 mm diameter (M10). 

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andy

Sorry, photo is a bit crap - can send you some better ones if you wish?

Forgot to say, the head dimensions are 20,0 mm diameter and 3,00 mm thick.

brilliant Andy, thanks very much.

One last question - is my memory right in thinking that they'll take an allen key? they do look suspiciously like someone has turned down a counter sunk screw.

The one upright in your photo looks like it might be threaded right up to the head.

hmm, time to talk to my mate with the lathe

cheers

Yes, they take a 6 mm allen key,

I believe the threads would have originally been right up to the head on all three screws but I think some corroded thread is still attached to the seat strap.  They were pretty stuck to the strap with corrosion.  The shorter rear one seems to have survived best.
