Updates on my Bob...

So I recently took back the HD side number plate mount and replaced it with a nice kit from DK Customs who were great...

I also fitted the rear pillion seat recently as i'm off on a trip next weekend and need to load stuff onto it...

Then the Bad&G battery bag arrived and was immediately fitted!! Great bit of kit and really useful..

Why the hell is your passenger seat mounted like that and not just bolted to the front seat and fender?!

Because it's a clip-on that attaches to the rack

I was considering the same pillion setup, how comfortable is it? And how quick to install and remove? Thanks mate

As Petebob says it's a clip on seat, just clips on to the rear rack. If it was bolted to the front seat and fender it would be a more "permanent" fixture which I don't want.

According to my missus it's very comfortable, let's face it Street Bobs are not made for 2 up comfort or touring are they. I'll be removing the seat as soon as next weekends trip is over as I prefer the look of the Bob with a single seat. In terms of ease of fitting and removing - takes less than 5 seconds....Just slide the front of it under the front of the rack and push down on the back - done. To remove it you push a clip under the seat and lift...

Thanks. Sounds good as I prefer the solo look as well but want something for taking the wife for a ride occasionally (probably only 3 or 4 times a year)
