Q: Is an RSV riders seat the same as on a Falco

Seen a very similar looking RSV seat for sale and wondered if it will fit a falco?

No - will not fit


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

RSV riders have oddly deformed arses, so need special seats.

No offers to mod it from Mr Insane or Mr Hacksaw?

It could be made to fit I expect, put it on a bit of wood and bang some nails into it maybe?

perhaps a light application of the hacksaw and only a fleeting visit from Mr Dremel??

That would be for adapting a Futura seat to fit.
