\nI’ll proceed with a 52 that was lying around as a sample for now.
\nIf that doesn’t work out, it might end up being a TOMO-FRP slim seat.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSince I have shearing, cutting is done in a flash.
\nContouring to fiberglass is rough, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’m thinking of mounting it as low as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’m still torn on whether to use a hinge, but if I do, it’ll be mounted almost directly and kept low.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThis tandem side. If nobody’s riding it, I can eliminate almost all the foam padding and raise the top surface, which should create quite a bit of space underneath. I’d like to fit a rain jacket in there.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe stem from a used GSXR1100J I bought recently was bent, so I tossed it and temporarily fitted an SV400 stem as the next candidate.<\/p>\n

Installed dummy bearings top and bottom\u2014fitting checks out.<\/p>\n

Fork span
\nOffset
\nHandlebar stopper
\nHandlebar lock<\/p>\n

Since it’s a keyless system again this time, I think that’s about it?<\/p>\n

The fork hasn’t arrived. The bodywork hasn’t arrived. The engine hasn’t come in. I can still back out… maybe.<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
