Yes mate I'll do it tomorrow, I did note on the packet that it was a specific bracket designed for converting a Bip into a Mono, and the bracket wasn’t flat.

ive tried everything using the bracket, sits way too high.

ive removed bracket completly and screwed tail light and seat lock locater (using 2 spacers on seat lock ) and screwed them both directly onto seat unit.

it now sits perfectly.

parts used ( spacers & bolts ) £ 10.00

i didnt use the bracket .. £32.50 down the drain :)

Stick it on ebay mate, I'll do you a photo anyway.

FWIW I found that the spacers had to be cut down about 4 - 5mm or the seat sits way too high above the exhausts ..... it is easy to do them as they are made from italian cheese ....

I thought only the Japanese made there fasteners out of cheese.

The seat bracket.

The sticker on the bag said 82711201A Piastra 916B98 996M/01 748B/02 Plate. If you want to see how the seat unit looks on the bike I’m going to post some pictures of my finished bike in the my photos section.

No, the Japanese do not have a monopoly on the cheese fasteners ... but teh italian ones are a nice goldy colour ....

Richer blend of cream, I think ....
