    Ok well after looking at my parts list the banana seat is not going to cut it even with a rear seat cowl so I'm ditching the seat cowl but does anyone know we're I can get the seat re done to look like the blackbird seat.

    There is a place next door to B&C tyres in Farnworth. They specialise in motorhome upholstery but I called in there about 18 months back to enquire about having my Firestorm seat recovered, they were happy to help and decent people to talk to. Never got round to it as I binned it a week after. Local so may be worth calling in with your seat for a chat.

    There is also a chap who advertises on the VTR forum, his work is superb and looks spot on but they are fucking expensive :wide:.

    Because sub frame needs cutting and without providing proof of how much weight it can hold and all the bolloxs as I was going to put a R6 tail on

    I just enquired about it when I had idea of single sided swing arm if sub frame is a bolt on from factory there ed. Is no issue but because subframe is welded to frame there's no way of testing the safety aspects

    Must be thousands of streetfighter bikes out there with welded modded subs.
