...the seat unit didn't have any mouldings for the seat mount, but it did come with a bracket that is fixed to the seat with DZUS. This bracket is fiixed to the top of the subframe and allows the seat to be located with the DZUS - it looks good too!!

I'm not sure I would like to drill hole's in my ali sub frame though. Bit difficult to explain away, if and when you ever wanted to sell.

Jon

You ready to post any pic's yet Tim !

Jon,

Av or Avio fiber is a special plastic material produced by/for Ducati in their Ducati Performance catalogues for people who don't want to use their road fairings on the track.

It seems to be a far higher quality material than your 'normal' fiberglass trackday fairings.

That's about all I know so far...

Thx Guy.

[Rattler]

..... I haven't drilled any holes, I'm using the 2 holes that are used to secure the seat latch to the subframe.

I have mounted the latch on the underside of the subframe cross member and used the same fixing screws but turned them upside-down - if that makes sense.

I then drilled 2 holes in the seat bracket that came with the seat and fixed the bracket over these screws - easy

Jon,

As Rattler has said the seat unit doesn't have any mouldings to mount to your existing subframe, but there is a bracket which bolts directly to the subframe, where the locking mechanism is bolted, you then drill 2 holes through the seat unit and attach 2 Dzus fasteners through the seat unit to the bracket....

Gives you that WSB look

Unfortunately doesn't come with any talent !!!!

[Jon]

I'm with you now. You will have to post a pick Tim. I think I fancy that system on mine.

Jon

[Rattler]

....so when he sent mine, all the holes were already drilled!!!

Nice!
