BP subframe and mono seat unit

The subframes for the mono and BP will both fit the frame no problem. The mono subframe is alloy and not designed for 2 up riding, plus there are no rear footpeg mounting points.

The seat units are held down in different ways. The rear of the mono seat locates with a pin and rubber bush arrangement which allows the seat and tank unit to slide backwards and forwards. But, the plastic part of the BP unit bolts in place and the rear seat pad is held in place by a key operated latch.

I have a mono that I convert to BP for the odd occassion that I take the wife out on the bike. I use a steel BP subframe and seat unit that takes around 45 mins to swap over.

I do know that you can fit the BP set up and then replace the rear seat pad with a fibreglass cowel. Personally I'd rather spend 45 mins and get the true mono look.

Hope this helps.
