Side Bag - Makeup Bag and Seat Cushion Cutting

[ENFARKLISI]

Hello,
I’ve been following the forum for a long time. I’d like to thank everyone who contributed with their valuable posts. I’d also like to share the modifications I’ve made to my bike, which I bought a year ago, whenever I get the chance. Greetings from Ankara, Turkey!

​The side pannier was bothering me in city traffic because it was too large. It usually only holds a 3-meter charging cable. After some research, I found a solution, slapped a logo on it, and got exactly what I wanted.

​I bought a cosmetic/makeup bag (20 Euros) and an SW-Motech SysBag Plate Kit (40 Euros), then mounted it using the 6 screws included in the kit. I didn't use the metal part at all. Now I can easily remove and change bags with a single button press.

​Since I’m tall, the hump on the comfort seat was causing me back pain. I cut that section out and made it much more practical and comfortable for myself.



​I hope this helps anyone in need.

​Ride safe!

Interesting. I guess removing and re-stapling of the seat cover is not that difficult, but don't you now have a loose flap of fabric from where the hump was? Or did you need to modify the cover itself?

[ENFARKLISI]

It's not loose or baggy; you just need to keep the fabric slightly taut while stapling. I didn't do any punching or cutting in the original fabric. I just slightly reduced the amount of foam.

I even added a layer of 3 cm long foam to make it even softer and more comfortable before closing it.

Sehr cool und gefällt mir die Idee mit der Adapterplatte und einem beliebigen Köfferchen
Trotzdem wäre es super wenn Du Deinen Text vorher in Google Translate wirfst bevor Du es hier postest da es ja ein deutsches Forum ist

Danke für Deinen Post

[ENFARKLISI]

Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Wünsche. Ich werde Ihren Vorschlag bezüglich der deutschen Sprache berücksichtigen.

I don’t mind if you keep posting in English. Anyone who can’t understand your text can just copy it into Google Translate for themselves. I’d rather read your English text before it gets turned into amusing German, which can sometimes happen, especially with technical terms.

Tja, hatte ich doch glatt vergessen... wir müssen uns ja immer anpassen gell

Denoch finde ich seinen beitrag hilfreich.

Seh es mal pragmatisch, er schreibt als Türke in Englisch, das finde ich schon OK. Wenn das von Türkisch (im Kopf) dann ins Englische übersetzt wird, danach dann vom Automaten ins Deutsche, dann wirds so richtig lustig. Hat mit "wir müssen uns anpassen" wenig zu tun, mir geht es primär um die möglichst korrekte Übermittlung der Information. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger.
