Well worth it though.

Unfortunately i have bad news, cant do a deal with me beta trials bike cos i sold it last sunday. Bet your gutted

Actually as Twisted said it isn't 'lightly modded'............................ Got a bit carried away.

same with most projects knack but another tidy job

i dont think bor should be allowed to post as hes selling me out for some h and h race how very dare he

Been working on the seat/tank/panel fit and have managed to lower the seat height so I can just get both feet flat on the floor in trainers with the correct rider and static sag. (30 inch inside leg ). Transferred this work to the other Mk1 as well.

Riding round the garden (nowhere near mid range) the bike seems much more responsive . Whether it's due to the carb, reeds, exhaust or silencer, I don't know - probably a combination.

Waiting for seat cover to get MOT.

both looking nice!! - I like how u got one with knobblies and one for road.. ( giving me ideas! )

when you say you lowered the seat height - you just shave the seat foam? then restaple back on?

I wouldnt mind feet on ground at traffic lights!


seats not comfy any ways,.



( did any one mention thats not really lighted modded anymore? )

Because I have fitted a CR tank and seat I can fiddle with the seat height. Originally I had the seat height set about the same as an AR on both MK1s but have taken this down a bit (though as the other is on SM wheels it is already low). I plan to reshape the foam slightly on this bike to get better contact with the ground but mostly by taking width out. The original CRM seats are very wide and soft. The CR is narrower and firmer. It is also flatter and because of that, you can get further foward on the seat and make the bike turn much more easily.

It seems to me that 1cm less width ~ 1.5 cm of height with regards to getting your feet on the ground .

Yup,its certainly looking the business Steve.

Finished .

Taken a further 2mm off the seat height at the back - ~10mm at the lowest - ~ 4mm at the front. Also ~ 10mm off width at bottom of tank/seat junction. New seat cover, sticker set and front mudguard. (Petrol cap is just resting, not screwed on ).
