What is generally thought to be the most pleasing to the eye sprint rack for use with an ancillotti seat,I've been toying with the idea of the all styles scooters version,any thoughts guys?

On my GP I had one of the thicker small ones with the plates that allow it to sit behind an ancilotti type seat think I was stainless from AF Rayspeed I thought it looked well

Hi Camel,

I think this is the chunkier looking one but I think it looks fine. Wrapped in Far Eastern newspaper so Im guessing thats where it came from :)

At least I have the decency to remove the Viet newspaper before sending them out. :lol:

I've got 2 slightly different versions of the one above plus this one....

I got mine through KB paintshop back around 2002. Can't remember if they fabricated it or had someone do it for them. The far eastern one must be a copy. It does look chunkier than mine.

regarding these seats...Ive only had this on for about 30miles and Im noticing that Im getting a serious case of the vibrating eyes! Im guessing that the old dual seat had enough spring in it to damp the engine vibration out. This one doesnt and its proving a real problem! I take my weight off the seat and the whole world becomes clearer :) It would be a shame to go back to the old seat because the Ancillotti does look the nuts. Anyone else have this problem, or is it common place??
