Mono Bip seat swap Hi guys I'm just looking for a little advice regarding a seat swap. I have just bought a 749 (2003) with a genuine mono seat (previously a BiP) but want a BiP unit. Does this just mean swapping the seat unit or do I also need a subframe? Cheers, Wes |

If the rear foot rest positions are still there it will be a bip subframe. |
Cheers Phil, I shall see tomorrow |
Pic 1 Attachment(s) From this Pic I'm guessing I might need a subframe too? |
|
can a mono seat be fitted to a bip subframe without to much trouble then ?? |
Sounds like a mono will go on a BiP no problem but maybe not the other way. Will give you a call in the week anyway Phil. Cheers |

Mine went straight on. Wes we could possibly swap subframes, as mine will never go back to a bip. Call me to discuss. |

The alloy mono subframe is very lightweight and made out of Swiss cheese.There have been loads of them snapping as mono's,so no way will it cope with a passenger weight. The genuine mono seat unit will only fit the mono subframe.The bip subframe is a lot higher at the back.I have seen a few where the owner has sawn the rear subframe loop off but the mono seat still does'nt sit right. Nah,swap subframes,its a dead easy swap and should'nt take any more than an hour with a tea break. For bip owners wanting the mono look there are alternatives,... like a MotoGP inspired seat unit that bolts straight on,....or a clip on cover that goes in place of the pillion pad. |
