Save 50% off your rego - solo seat mod

At Gus's request, here is what I had to do.
1. Render pillion seat ineffective. Suzuki make a genuine part to replace the pillion seat.

2. Remove pillion seat pegs
3. Mobile motorcycle RWC guys are out there who do the compliance plates. It cost me $200.
Later found out my Suzuki dealer would do the same for $100.
Then once the plate has been riveted to the frame, you take the bike to the local transport dept for verification and adjustment of your rego papers. My rego has gone from approx $400 per year to $200 per year.

Just ask the mod plater BEFORE you go cutting brackets off etc exactly what they are looking for to satisfy the regulations WRT solo seat mods. I did what I was told and there's been no problems.

Hope this helps. Just think, solo seat rego is half the cost of dual seat. That means you can have TWO solo seat bikes for the same money.

Thanks F.T.
Do you have to get the holes that accept the pillion footpeg bolts welded up .Whats to stop you putting them back on .?
Havnt got a pic handy of that seat cowl fitted have you.?

What a shame it makes no difference in VIC.

Hey Full Throttle, Can you post some photo's of your seat? Please?

I would but I just can't get it to work on this forum. So frusterating.
I'll try after work today.

Have u got them on some thing like Photobucket? If so copy the "IMG code:" and paste straight in to the REPLY and click Preview to have a look. don't click or paste it in to the image link, just paste it in the Reply area that u use to reply to me

Peg bracket holes don't have to be welded. They can be drilled out, riveted up or cut off. Best thing is to talk to the plater.
