Hump solution
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2015 4:08 am
Greetings to you all from Belgrade Serbia!
Yesterday morning took me 30 minutes to move backwards my hump for an inch, sufficient if you are 180 to stretch your legs while riding.
- take the hump off the seat (unbolt 2 nuts 10mm cylinder wrench)
- undo the staples with a screwdriver and pliers (waste them)
- take of the foam part (glued with some gum glue - easy to detach)
- you will see that the SQUARE heads of bolts are moulded into plastic "H"- tic tac toe place
- use the machine with big drill to destroy covering plastic and release heads
- once you are finished, put the nut on the bolt and hit it with a hummer to pop out
- the bolts can be advanced one place in the "H"- tic tac toe plastic pattern (one place approx. 2cm) towards the front
- bore new holes ( I think 8-10mm but please compare it to the unthreaded part of the bolt)
- insert bolts and secure them in place with a little tape or glue/sylicone (foam will also press them)
- once you have them in place, put back the foam and material
- the best is to ask local upholstery guy to staple it back for you (some tape is useful for test until stapled)
- screw it on and test
BE VERY CAREFUL, this (2cm) is most you should do
Sorry for not posting some pics
Hope you will also find it beneficial!
