Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #13 Trouble is both seats and pods are mighty expensive. The other problem is, looking at the photo, you are turning a Sports Utility into a single seater. No flexibility! A decent waterproof bag with lots of fixing points is a much better bet. Chris

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #10 Yes. BTW - all this has been done on a second hand pillion seat, my original remains on the shelf for future use. However, my first step was to seal the space between the box and the seat tray with cavity wall foam. What A Mess. I created a theoretically neat space by stretching plastic sheeting across the top of the tray, but the foam didn’t set. So I cleaned the wet mess off and sprayed foam directly onto the seat, then sat the box down in position on the 4 bolts. A sharp knife removed excess foam. But at least I had sealed all the holes in the tray. Then I remembered I had the old seat cover hiding somewhere. So laid it in position and popped 4 holes in the cover for the bolts and simply wrapped it under the tray. Was important to remove excess material under the tray as there is little clearance where the seat mounts to the frame. Get it wrong and the catch is Very Difficult to engage. We’ve read stories of jammed seat catches before. Leading to the “Hump Option” ……… see below
Carpe Diem!
