Hello all,
Having sorted most (but not all) of the running difficulties with my T-Bird, the next step is to convert it to be able to ride 2-up as my girlfriend and I often spin about the country as the weather here picks up a bit.
There was a single seat conversion on the bike when I bought it. It consists of a single piece which comprises of both mudguard and seat and is secured by two bolts, one on either side of the rear subframe. The front has a tab that slides underneath the petrol tank.
Seats are available to buy, both on eBay and from aftermarket suppliers, for a reasonable cost so but I have been unsuccessfully trying to locate a secondhand rear fender. Has anyone tried with a fender from another bike? Is there any brand that might slot in without too many modifications or am I better waiting and hoping one comes up for sale? They are about £250 new which is far too rich for me at the moment.
Thanks for any suggestions.
