Nitrous Bottle in Seat - with PICS.

To do this mod, imagine using a 3.25 inch hole saw and drilling a hole by standing at the back of the bike and drilling into the back part of the seat by holding the back of the drill up so you are drilling the hole down toward the lower part of the gas tank. Now if it were only that easy!

1. OK, since it's "hidden" I didn't worry too much about making it look good.
2. It's a 1 lb. bottle for my shifter. To use a 1 lb. bottle for the engine and make several runs at the track would be a real pain changing the bottle. 'Course, if you only needed 1 or 2 runs out of it and didn't have to change it in public ..................
3. I took the pics today. DUH! I accidentally reset the date on the camera.
4. As you can see, my seat has the hump extended forward to hold me there, so the mod is easier. However, I am sure that you could do the same thing with a stock seat.
5. The Tiger Tail is NOT necessary. I did this mod before adding it.

Installed seat:



Seat lifted but otherwise ready to go.



Seat still on bike, but lifted from the side.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
