Default Seats Knocking and Rubbing Constantly

Hi guys,

This is my first 2-seater and I'm not sure if I'm making sense. I sit pretty far back and I find my seat knocking and rubbing at the back constantly as I accelerate or drive over a bump. Are the seats supposed to be this filmsy? Please advise.

Thanks.

Does the back move independent of the seat? If not check the bolts that hold the seat to the floor.

I know exactly what your talking about. I think its because you have the seat to far back. The seats cannot touch anything, if they do you will get this knocking/ creaking. I had mine leaned back to far for more room and it did this. I adjusted it to where it wasnt touching anything behind the seats and it fixed right away. If you want the extra room you have to deal with the knocking..if not, do the adjustment

I see...ill try seating closer to the front then.

Another thing, I realized in your signature you have a 3" stub antenna. Do you have a link as to where I can buy them online? Reception is not affected I hope?

Finally, you got 288WHP! That's insane. Is this measured on a full inertia dyno or an eddy current (brake) dyno?

Thanks in advance.
