Got Carbon
Fiber?
Written by: Guy Caputo
I
used to think that there couldn’t possibly be anything
else new I could find for my Hayabusa. Wronnnnng!
I just had to share
this little trinket with you that I found at the www.Gotperformance.org
website. It is a new carbon fiber pan seat made by Quinten
Robles. This thing is way too cool just to look at; you have
to experience the feeling of sitting on this thing. It puts
you lower than any seat available for the mighty Busa. It
feels as if you are sitting on the frame. Hey, what do you
know, you are sitting on the frame. It weighs next to nothing
and is stronger than I could imagine. I weigh in at almost
200lbs with leathers and I had no worries at all with this
seat. I used a cross brace from an old seat and some Velcro
and voila’, a new seat. I now sit so low I feel as if
I’m on the ground like a funnybike. If it weren’t
for this seat, I couldn’t have gotten myself out of
the wind flow at Maxton this last event during the Land Speed
Trials.
If
you Drag race or do the Land Speed Trials, do yourself a favor
and pick one of these seats up for Christmas, even if it is
a little early.
You will find all
sorts of goodies at this website and when my new low profile
carbon fiber tank gets here, I’ll show you some really
neat new items to get your body even lower on the Big Bad
Busa.
Seat pans
come in both carbon $99.00,
or in gel coated fiberglass for 79.00
Until Next Time,
Safe Racing to All
