I would suggest that it would constitute an offence of dangerous parts, contrary to section 40a RTA 1988. Some other Officers of the law on here may disagree with me on this one but this offence is one which can be applied to so many aspects of a vehicles condition and is so wide in its interpretation that I would not risk getting prosecuted for it. Not a lot of people know this, but two convictions for dangerous parts within (I think) 5 years is a mandatory disqualification.  Nobody wants that do they?

Lonewolf, I agree, it could well be deemed as using a vehicle in a dangerous condition. It has a discretionary disqualification, for one offence, and obligatory disqual for 2 offences within 3 years.

Send it back and get one that's fit for purpose...

George I wish you would stop posting pics of your bike as I so want your seat....
So do I. Bagman has it way down in Cornwall and his better half won't let him sell it back to me.
I have a spare seat now so when I feel the need (and have £400 spare) I will ship it to California and get another one made up.
If you want to get your own, see http://www.day-long.com/

First ride with the screen and risers today. Loads better - handling at low speed is a lot easier and zero head buffering  :smiley:
