Is that a genuine HD seat option these days ?
Looks like a Chopper Shox set up but bolted on
instead of welded in properly, the little shox are
pretty comfy if they are CS shocks...

Darren, how did you mount the conversion kit? I have just bought one and cant for the life of me work it out?

Cheers

Great job darran,awesome job in 24hours wish I had the coin todo the same to my 48 , I deal with gasoline alley as well , great bunch of guys , good luck with your opens

 Waz, happy to help if I can. What conversion kit are you wanting to install.

 Bear your right things can get pretty expensive, if you don't spend wisely. Have you gotten to go on any of the gasoline alleys rides yet. I have been away every weekend they have had the rides. Maybe next time.

How is the 48 it was a tough choice between the iron and the 48, they both look wonderful.

 

Yep the kits just bolt on. See the pic below (best pic I have at this point).  Seat kit comes assembled (seat and mount kit) two bolts B (existing seat bolt) and C (through the frame by existig hole) are the only ones needed to be put on. 

C is still a bitch to tighten. I found the best trick is to screw nut down until a small amount of bolt sticks through the top. Multigrip the top and screw the nut right downhill it tightens up good.

 

 

 

How did you get bolt c underneath, this is the bit that is confusing the shit out of me? How do you even get the bolt started??

 I don't about the 2010 version but when I rip the sat off to 2012 model this is what I see:

Darran, thanks for your help mate; it was greatly appreciated.

Managed to get the pan buttoned up nicely tonight and after speaking to you it took me all of about 15mins!! The bracket that connects to the tank bracket and frame wasn't exactly a great fit, however a little massaging with the rubber mallet got it square in the end!!

Thanks again!!

 Waz, glad to hear it went well, love to see a picture of it as well as that bitwell seat.

anyone know if you can just buy the black covers for the short shots? I just picked up a used set from a bike that went down... the pipes are OK but the heat shields are badly scarred.
Other option is the heat wrap... not sure which way to go.

By the way, nice bike Darran. I'm in Brisbane too....
