race / solo seat panel mount bracket

[Nicky]

I've just bought a fibreglass solo seat as an option for my machine.

I understand I need a frame to bolt to the sub frame and attach to the item, but where do I start trying to find someone who could do that? I have no idea what I need! Does anyone have such a thing for sale? Or someone who makes these things?

Got any pics ? I'm sure you will get some ideas from the forum once we know what type of seat you have and what you are fitting it to.

It should be delivered next week sometime but was bought as a non running jap import

Hopefully just a carb clean

Here is the solo unit, it has just two bolts under the bum pad. It goes onto a very standard 350 LC frame, as shown. Any ideas where I could look / who I could approach to make a frame?

That's an Armstrong Race Developments seat (ARD) I think they still make them. They used do an all in one tank and seat unit for the Lc which looked nice too. Maybe worth getting in touch with them to see if they do a bespoke frame for the seat, or they may have an idea of how best to fix it;

The seat/tank units are now made by Ragged Edge Racing from the original ARD mould.

Had a few ard units bitd , you can just plop them on , but it’s better to make a loop and bolt it to the seat latch plates then put 2 bolts in the top
Bit of a faff at the start but once it’s done its done

I agree, it would definitely want supporting at the back. Look really nice on an Lc though

Dusty, you're a good man and the advice was top notch. Big thanks. I have contacted ARD and will see what they come up with.

Cheers
