| i finally broke down and bought myself the 916 unit from ricambi weiss.
The build quality of it seems pretty good, and its not as thin as id imagined, but will still take a fair amount of work to get right.
I spoke to a man today who is going prep and paint it for me, and will also build me a nice ally subframe for it to sit on.
The 916 seat i bought from fleabay turned out kinda interesting.
It looked a total piece of poop when i bought it and the price reflected that - with its bad home made cover, but i figured it wouldnt matter as id have to butcher the base to suit the correct tank profile, and then i would recover it.
i took the nasty covering off last night to find that underneath it had its original covering in immaculate condition!
So now im torn to either look for another ratty one or trash this good one for the better of my new seat unit.
hrm.
