TZ Droopy seat unit


I had purchased a TZ250E Droopy
seat unit from LRM Fibreglass several weeks ago and was very impressed with the quality, however in comparison to the original seat the new one was quite heavy. This was not a problem but I emailed Ray at LRM and expressed my views. I was not trying to get a discount or refund I just wanted to say that other makers of fairings and seats do not use as much glass and he may be able to cut the cost of manufature! Ray replied saying he was aware and as a gesture offered me another seat that is thinner FOC. I was gobsmacked that a company would offer this in the current climate and even offered to pay half, but Ray insisted that it will be gratis. Anyways I picked the seat up this morning and Ray explained that he had made it even thinner than he said, he has asked me to try it out and after drilling the mounting holes it was fitted in about 15 minutes, I had to make a few alterations, ie the oil filler cap is under the seat and it was a tad too long going towards the tank, but as you can see it looks the buisness. I have asked Ray for some LRM stickers as I will be more than happy to advertise his company as in this day and age there are not many firms that value their customers as much.
