I've picked up a 2015 Amazonas with a loose seat because the 2 securing tabs on the tank are missing. Part details above. Apart from being £13 quid each plus VAT and postage !!! they are out of stock. Does anyone have them and want to sell I'm guessing the 1130 TRE are the same?
It's just a piece of flat steel with a countersunk hole in it. I could make a couple in 10 minutes.
I'll do them for you for 12 quid!
Seriously though, I could help you out in one of 2 ways:
1. Make a pair for you, using the ones on my Tre-K as a pattern. You pay postage from Australia to wherever you are.
2. Do a dimensioned drawing and email it to you so you can make them yourself (or get someone local to you to do it).
Here's the doohickey in question. It doesn't have a countersunk bolt as sown in the parts diagram, just a Phillips pan head and washer. I did a drawing so I could make a couple for Mr Spazbecker.
(Note: If anyone prints the drawing jpg, it's unlikely to come out to the scale indicated.)
I must say I’m curious as to how your original seat tabs would have gone missing. Seems an odd thing for someone to remove.
I don't reckon the ones on my Tre-K's tank have been off before. A previous owner painted the tank black (did a lousy job too) and the seat tabs evidently got painted along with the rest of the tank.
Well I never knew these were a thing !.
Iv not got any on my Trek and to be honest I've never felt the need either .
But now that know I'll probably crash the bike constantly thinking about them now haha...
Yeah I know they do seem insignificant but it was picked up as an advisory on the last MOT as 'seat loose'. Sprocket in Tasmania as kindly sorted me some out.
