[loudmatter]

hey guys just wanted to know if a yamaha fs1e seat will fit on a yamaha rxs100 as the seat pan on my rxs is rusted to f**k and cant find a replacement pan anywhere i can only find the seat cover....

but my father has got an old fs1e in his garden and the seat pan is in good cond so i was hopeing it would fit on my rxs100 and i would feel alot better if it does, cos im not gonna stand up whilst riding to and from wembley stadium lol

many thanks to all that reply.

Hi

Highly unlikely it will bolt straight on. You might be able to bodge it on, but suspect a replacement FS1E seat is worth more than one for an RXS100.

All the best

Not sure about this. I know the RD125 twin tank fits the RXS because I tried it once LOL Not much help, sorry.

RXS seats are hard to come by these days, because the bases just rust away no matter how much effort you make (layers of Hammerite and ACF50 count for nothing ). But you could bungee a Fizzy seat to the frame if necessary, so long as it wasn't bearing down on anything important, like the CDI. Short term bodge, obviously.

Talking about this reminded me of the time a mate tied two pillows to his MZ after the seat fell to bits Did the job, but a nightmare in the rain

i have the same problem and as such, i'm not sure what to do.

Its an H100S2 as said before the seat base is rusted to f**k. and it just bends where it has started to crack through.

Does anyone know of anyone who reproduces these seats?.

Is there an alternative? Could i possibly get some sort of mould out of the old one, and make a new base somehow? Like fibreglassing and epoxy etc?

[27cows]

I think the MZ guy put his pillows in a couple of heavy duty rubbish bags in the wet (seriously) The local breaker laughed so much when he appeared on the pillow bike that he gave him an old seat for nothing Cover was ripped, but some gaffa tape and black bags soon had it waterproof.

This is the kind of fun the wealthy will never experience

Regarding possible replacements - nothing doing. Looked all over. My current seat base has most of the spikes gone, but enough sound metal remained for me to put some self tapping screws in at strategic points for the cover to fix to. Works reasonably well. Better than cushions/pillows

it is an idea i might have to go with. if the fs1e seat dont fit or try making my own out of a bit of wood for a base or a new sheet of metal and drill holes in it to bolt it to the frame

You could almost certainly bodge the Fizzy seat to fit. I've used seats from one bike on others before quite a few times.

how long would you say a bodged fizzy seat would last for on my rxs?

Did they even make a fizzy 100? I know they made a YB100 about the same time and the engine would fit a fizzy.

Just buy a new seat. If they were available for my X5 untill recently (last made 1982) then I'm sure there are a fre RXS ones knocking around NOS. People are lazy when it comes to tracking down bits. Fucking hell, you can still buy RD250 / 400 front mudguards brand new from Yamaha for about £50.

Given a pattern it would be a relatively simple thing to have one or several copies manufactured. It's not as if it's a complicated part - bit of tin-bashing, some foam and a seat cover and there you go.

I'm actually tempted to re make the seat bases of a couple of my old bikes.

I'm tempt to go for the half a mill thickness sheet and hammer into shape. Any easier ideas would be nice.

I can imagine it being alot of work. Probably would need a wide large rear wheel for hammering out the hump you find on most seats to clear the mudguard area. The rest could just be a flat base and holes drilled to reuse the rubber cones/packers etc

[Pete.]

0.5mm is too thin - you'd need 18 or 20 gauge at least. I'd make the pattern from MDF and lay the sheet over the top, bash down the edges and trim. Flat-tray bases would be easy to make but some are quite sculpted to give clearance and make them more rigid.

Point kick was making is that decent FSIE parts are desirable & usually expensive.

DONT butcher a decent FS1E seat base, its worth money!

stick it on e-bay!

Use proceeds to find a better nic RSX seat on e-bay!

Or use another botch.

MDF, grp, or as suggested some hammer & dolly work on tin or ali to make up a more 'authentic' pattern eplacement!

More imaginitively, without so much dexterouse craft work....

After-Market body-work.

Race Plastic, or 'custom' parts from the catalogues!

Or even some scoring the breakers!

I mean.... find an Aprillia 50 with bent forks & dead engine, nick the tank & tail unit, wrap them round your rails for a street-fighter look, by reverse adaptation!

ANYTHING is possible.... bu 1st port of call would be a car body-shop...... see if any-one can apply a bit of mig or bronze and a few patches to make your old base sound for a bit of beer money!

There was an RXS seat on ebay for £60. There was something about it I didn't like, though. Can't remember what now. Probably the seller said it had a rusty base
