Start the add anchorages process -Preparation-
Mon, 13 Nov 2017

Long neglected

I've always found the lower body position to be a bit cramped, even on the Ninja 400. The only thing that bothered me when touring over 500km per day was the tight knee bend.

June 26, 2017. Ninja 400←→Ninja 650 swapping rituals in the store.

So, there is a way to do this: .... And. Then the action was.....

• Aug. 8: Start considering how to add anchorages.

  I went touring with Mr. Iminashi's new Ninja 1000 over the weekend, and started looking at the distance between the seat and step and considering an anchorage.

• September 2: Genuine parts arrive (ordering error: ....)

  I looked up the part number and thought, "Cheap! I checked the model number and thought, "Cheap!" and ordered the part, but it arrived......Only the skin of the seat arrived.

• September 16: Sold a sheet on Yahoo!

  Once again, I'm going through all the parts of the seatassy: ..... It's pretty expensive: .... So, I got a used seat from Yahoo Japan (bid price: 5,000 yen)

And so far, so good........orz

Order from a store? Do it yourself?

The beautiful finished product would naturally be ordered from a store. Marunao, who told me about it in a comment.（http://www.marunao.co.jp/bike/）I also found a store about 30 minutes from my house that will do the work the same day I bring it in.

The amount is the price of losing two or three teachers.

On the other hand, if you want to do it yourself, you need more tools.......

• Anchorages

  I went to a local home improvement store to see if they had anything like this, but.......

  Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that looked good......

• Tucker

  This is a strong stapler for crafts. I couldn't find this at Home Depot either.

100 yen per person

So, the other day I was passing by a 100-yen store on my way to work......

I have a complete set of tools. w The Daiso tacker has a good reputation on the web, and it's a fine play to get all the tools for the price of one Amazon tacker.

I'm ready.

So, I got the anchors from Amazon. I originally wanted to use 1cm up, and I bought one of the 2cm thick ones that seemed to be just right for the margins of the seat skin. I'm going to start adding the anchors.
