Single Seat Conversion?

Walenut · 12-Apr-2005, 10:12

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?

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.

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

How much did all that cost in the end?

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.

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 · 12-Apr-2005, 23:44

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!!!

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.
