The pilot hard point could be the rider at the back.
The actual pilot that you model for the ship can be the one riding it.
You basically cheat the system and make the hard point the person as passenger while you then make your own pilot riding the thing with whatever pose you want.
The one in your previous thread looked a lot more sci-fi tbh. Now it just looks like motorcycle without wheels. Though I do suppose that the double-seater is a work-around that works it also gives it a "slower" feel so to speak. Racing with someone casually sitting on the back would be a bit odd. Then again, if it works and there's no other solutions I suppose it's ok.
I really like the idea, its pretty amazing. However, if you think about it, space is very dangerous. It wouldn't make much sense to use a bike in space since it wouldnt be able to protect you from radiation, explosions, lasers etc. That said, if you could implement it while covering those issues, I'm all for it!
On a side note, I'm not a fan of the more classic design you've gone for here. I much preferred the original with the high tech looking visor and everything. If you could integrate the hardpoint location into your original model, that would be epic.
