Headrest Alternatives for Silvio or Vendetta ~Rick

[Rick Youngblood]

Cliff, sorry, I don't. But it's simple. I attached the bottom with Velcro, and at the top I drilled 4 small holes in the abs plate, one on each side of the headrest rail, and ran zip ties through the holes and around the rail. The Velcro will keep the plate from sliding and the zip ties will hold it in place. This way you can adjust to clear rear wheel. I used heat to give the abs plate some curve.

I should add, no holes were drilled into seat, but yes that's another option.

Rick, did you attach the abs plate behind the headrest, or in front of it?

In front of. I will look and see if I can find some other images.

Okay, here they are:

Top zip ties not installed

With aero bag mounted

Optional open cell pad, to change seat angle

With pad and seat bag installed

Rick, what material are you using for that seat back extension(i.e., the piece that the open cell foam sits on)? Is that ABS plastic as well? Looks like it might be a little more flexible than that but I can't quite tell.

If it is ABS plastic, I'd be interested to know the thickness if you happen to recall it. Thanks, Brad

This particular piece is not abs, however I have made these using 1/8" abs. I purchase 24 x 48 inch sheets from eBay. The one shown above is the material used to make sprinkler boxs that you get at Home Depot or Lowes, it's slightly thicker than 1/8", maybe 3/16, and not as dense as abs.

I replaced the existing pad with a Ventisit pad. Much more comfy, and helps with sweat. I cutout and formed a piece of ABS plastic to attach the Ventisit pad.

Rick, how did you attach the Ventisit material to the ABS?

Cliff, I believe I used Velcro. Ventisit pads have two strips of Velcro attached to its underside, so I just placed a strip of its mate to the abs.
