Under seat guts pic request..

Post by keepy »

Any chance someone could take (or has) an under seat picture for me? Google images isn't coming up with the goods!

I looking to get a 1000f again, and one I went to see tonight had a very shiney square cross beam behind the tank bolts, that just looked out of place, right under where your 'Man nuts' would be..

.. it also had pretty snotty welds on it..

Just after a stock image for reference in case it's a ringer !! Cheers!

Not a great photo and I blew the size up for you so a bit grainy, but there is a square section alloy tube welded between the castings at the back of the tank, usually has the tank mount bolted to it and the bundle of connectors in their shroud just behind.

Yeah that's the piece I'm on about! :-) an overhead of that would be great.

It was just far to 'new lookin' for the rest of the bike, and had untidy welds and A B lettering on one side of it

Cheers! I'd been googling it, but hadn't found a decent one. The second one you posted shows it pretty well though. And they aren't the tidyest of welds! 😵

No they wont be...

A/ The bikes built to a price... :thumbdown:

B/ Unless it's stripped down you cant see it... :thumbup:

C/ It's not a Moriwaki, Harris, Spondon ect. weliding artisan doing it...probably a robot named Dave San... :crazy:

D/ It may have been done on a late Friday shift...see 70's UK car building... :lol:

E/ Your a fussy bugger...Now have a look at the lower bar on the subframe under the battery box... 8O

6/There is no F/ I've run out of reasons...

This is a close up I have on file. The cross beam is anodized so could be why it is shiny still. It is also MIG welded, which is not as neat as TIG welding.

FFS...Why are you so worried about what a bit of welding ( that you can't even see unless the bikes stripped... :confused ) looks like...????

Get the seat back on & ride the bloody thing... :lol:

Me bored ? No I'm quiet enjoying myself winding people up... :lol:

Besides if he's had a Storm before the welds there would have been much the same...

I blame Dave San the robot...

Actually they are not the most tidy welds either. Well not the frames and swingarms anyway, but If you want nice welds take a look at the ladybird exhausts :biggrin
