[Walenut]

I’m putting a single seat on my Bip 916 and using the parts from the twin seat, I think I will need to buy new:

Plate 827.2.004.1A which is the plate that the striker bolts onto, it looks flatter than the BIP one?

Spacers x 2 for the above bracket,

Bolts x 2 for the above spacers,

Anything else?

[Mr_S]

They're the bits I bought for mine.

Although I ended up buying a full set of everything in the end so it was an easier swap.

[Walenut]

Thanks, right let's see if they've got the bits in.

How much did all that cost in the end?

[Mr_S]

About £40, though I did get the light unit off e-bay for peanuts.

Most expensive new bit was the lock plate with the spigot on it, which was around £10.00

I think it's about £30 plus the light.

Cheers Mr_S

They've just charged me £30 for the plate that the latch plate bolts onto, and £5 for the spacers. Mr S did you have to cut the spacers down? The bolts are 60p each though.

[Mr_S]

Didn't have to touch the spacers, just put them on.

£30's a bit rich for a flat piece of steel with some holes in (I got a bargain then!)

60p for a bolt! Get a pair from somewhere else!!!

[Walenut]

To late now but where did you get your bits from? Mind you I did need them instantly as I'm MOT'ing the bike on Friday morning.

[F1F3R]

hello walenut.

did you get the parts fitted yet ?

i just ordered and fitted the same parts . but my seat sits miles in the air.

to me it looks like its needing dropped by an inch at least.

if possible can you post or email a picture
thnx
