I got my WLA style seat & vtwin piston kit for my slim & am having a few issues with mounting the seat to the T piece, nothing with this vtwin kit seems to line up correctly, attached a couple of pics with the issues I have, not really sure if I need a longer mounting bar or its just a case of drilling new holes ??



When the plates is fixed through the holes it would appear to be to short for fixing at the front.


If I position it where it appears to fit at the front then the 2 mounting holes at the rear are way out ?

 

Try flipping the bar over and mount it to the plate from underneath so the hinge tab hooks down not up.

 

Got there in the end after ditching some of the vtwin hardware, didn't need to re-drill anything.

 

Does all that stuff under the seat stay exposed like that?

 

It will until I sort a cover out as there is nowhere else for it to go. I'm thinking of removing the stock seat cover & foam & using the original seat pan ??

 

i'd ask around, leaving that all exposed looks like S.

 

There are cover pans that hide all that stuff, year specifc.

 

I'll be hopefully fabricating a cover from the plastic seat pan base, didn't take much to strip it down & glad the moco didn't use much glue.

 

Good idea, looking forward to seeing the finished product!

 

Interesting, my T-bar had holes at the front and rear....
Maybe they cheaped out & just went with one hole.

Here's an example with three holes from JPCycles
