Title: Seat Pan
Post by: kp on May 05, 2011, 04:33:55 pm

This is an interesting item. Given that the Yamiya seat pan is only correct for the very very very early VIN bikes, this is a good item to see reproduced. The K0 seat pans are not that strong as I have had many over the years that have been bent and cracked. Looks to be excellent. KP

Looks good, but BE CAREFUL....
I think you will find that they do not have the "barbs" pressed into the edge for the cover to secure to; the holes for the rubbers are too large, and the sides of the pan are too deep. You may also find that the hole pattern is not accurate to the later pan too.
You can work with these though if you make up a tool to pierce the barbs round the edge of the pan (or are prepared to glue the cover on), and glue the rubbers in place, and trim the sides of the pan.

Shame really, as they do at first glance look to be just the job.
