I hear ya. Replaced all the nuts on the sidestand assembly with nylocs tonight. It's not going to lose any more. This is it:hobot said:I find it takes about 1000 miles to shake down the weak or over looked stuff. Don't trust any blinds so be out the way ahead of time eh.
Long overdue Graeme, waaay overdue.GRM 450 said:Glad it's going for you Dave, maybe you can finally enjoy Nortoneering?
Yeah, I have, but would rather improve the existing seat. But then again an airhawk could be used on the TRX too I s'pose. Hmm, must cogitate.GRM 450 said:Have you thought about Airhawk seat cushion?
Yeah I had the TRX seat reprofiled and that improved things there, but I still run a lamby most of the time. Certainly for days when you're trying to cover 500+ ks it's got to be right. I've taken some pics and I'll send 'em off to ACM and see what sorta money is involved before I go any further. I'm thinking something like this overall shape (not the fiberglass bit) to suit the square-profile at the rear of the Dunstall seat:GRM 450 said:Best to get the seat redone to suit you.
I would recomend John Moorhouse at Ergo Seats (07) 3245 3979 in Brisbane,,,,,but a seat is a personal thing that you need to sit and try as it's getting made. (and look)
John uses high quality foam and coverings that are hard for the first 1000kms but very good after that. He's done all my bike seats and it pays. (not expensive either)

hobot said:Dav, you can find that shape seat w/o the fiber glass after thought piece at Old Brits site for like $150. Indeed the back lip helps a lot on long rides and really really quick short runs too. Btw if ya put a cross piece where a fork brace goes it gives long leggers a foot forward stretch perch that fools the big bagger till ya pass em in ease. Crash bar rests are too close to straighten legs out on a Cdo.
hobot said:Your side stand may have solved what's stumped me on how to hold Ms Peel up w/o a tree or wall like my P!! dragger.
Point me to source of it please as Ms Peel stands a couple inches tall than normal and Norton type weighs a ton won't adapt d/t sticking straight out way more than down.

Afraid it's made out of bits and pieces I bought from the local hardware - 3mm steel brackets, U-bolts and M6 thread stock (allthread). I can sketch out what I did if that's any help Steve.
