Carbon single seat fitted

Finally. Been planning to do this for over two years but only got round to finishing today.

There's very few of these single seats available second hand or through e-bay or anywhere else so ended up buying new from KTM. Carbon seat unit through a German company. Quyality good but it wasn't the best fit and I had to do a lot of work to make the tail light fit, dremmelling, sanding, reshaping. This was made worse because I was fitting a bike monkey light unit and this was also slightly different from OE parts. So I got an after market carbon unit trying to mate up to an after market light unit. Double trouble, took a good few hours to sort this out. Added to that was the bike was dirty so all the bits that were transfered across needed to be cleaned up.

Anyway, now looks great I think.

Man that's a sweet unit Bic...!!! I did manage to pick up a used one but not a carbon unit ..I bet that was at least double price.!!!! You do love your Superduke treating it to that kind of candy..!! I'm envious bro ...and also makes me want to get off my arse and install it.!!! Just got it from the shop..went on vacation and sick with bronchitis now...Time to install the rest of my bits..
Cheers
