    Arrow Any ideas on gas tank fill mod's for enabled rider?

    hey guys, finally up and riding. took everyones advise and went with the ISCI hand brake; works great and easy to install. also included from CUSTOM DYNAMICS their 4" riser kit, great product and also easy install. Working on a chair carrier, but ridin NAKED, and life is great. Need to find a easy way to get fuel into this Machine. Any and all ideas are appreciated w/photos or contacts, See ya, "Wheels"

    There's a seat that's for sale that's modded just for you.

    Default Another Option ( a little expensive)

    Cutting a hole in the seat is an easy and convenient fix but I just don't like how it looks.

    Corbin makes a split seat (you'll have to order both the front and the rear seat) which is very high quality.

    I don't know what injury level you are (I'm a T-12) but the Filling up sequence is as follows.
    1. I pull up and insert my card, select my fuel and hang the pump on the end of my handlebar.
    2. I slide to the back seat, lift the front seat and remove the cap.
    3. Gas up and then reverse process.
    Again, not as cheap or convenient but you'll end up with a saddle that looks and rides a whole lot better than the stock seat.

    Dunno why one should make it easy for someone else to mess with their gas tank unless there is a absolute necessity for easier access.

    because getting off with a wheelchair take me 2 minutes and the wheelchair bracket makes it harder to get the seat open.

    AND when not wheelchair with you can't get off to get gas in it, I went thru this for 1500 miles of use, almost ran out of gas a few times and then what? crawl home?

    My advise to this issue is what I did, cut the plastic, do a better job than I did of stapling the seat and put velcro on the "tank" edge and the seat part you cut and no one would know that it was there.

    Why the hell someone would pay for a hard ass cobin seat that is WAY over priced IMHO i will never know, I had to put a airhawk seat insert in there when I got pressure spots on 800 mile days.
    I am existing right now, would give anything to live again. Fix my sci and you have everything I own.
