Hi, thought some of you may be interested in this German based Eurofighter seat unit for the Firebolt. I fitted mine a couple of weeks ago and I'm really impressed with the results. However, if comfort is your thing don't bother. It's a bit hard! But looks the dog's b*ll*cks!
The quality of the fibreglass is good, but the gap between the unit and the frame differs slightly from the gap along the airbox. I got round this by using black pinstripe tape along the airbox to mimick the bigger gap of the seat unit. My mate painted it and got an excellent match. The kit comes with subframe spacers to raise the tail by 90mm. The kit is 280Euros (about £260/$450ish?)but the custom made seat is not included, this was an extra 180Euros (£160/$250) so not cheap, but I'm still well impressed as there is nothing similar availabe for Buells that I know of. The same company also do a similar kit for Lightnings and other Buells. Take a look at there website, frank-parts.de
