Yeh, If I had scenery like that, I'd be getting wet also.
Naw, When I was restoring the bike, I wanted to go with the solo. My pal
got the solid mount from Harpers w/ the rack, ect.. I rode with that seat
for a season before the restoration. It was a good seat but not for me.
Being 6'4" I needed more leg room. Rick from MG sent me a sprung solo (lapd
repop), but said he was a tall guy also and I might not like that one
either. I got the seat and it just didn't seem wroth the money. I wanted
something metal framed & durable. Moto Guzzi wasn't going to give it to me.
I looked for an old leather tractor seat to adapt. no luck.
Stopped by a local Triumph dealer. Small shop, not a big dealership.
Paul(owner) used to sell Urals and happened to have a ural driver solo and
the buddy solo. I walked out with both. Couldn't use the buddy solo(which is
really cool), but I was able to mount the regular one, through a little
engineering.
Couldn't be happier with the setup, since I was setting up the seat from
scratch. I was able to set it where it was comfortable to me and my long
legs. Plus it has a really high seat height, looks cool, rides cool( almost
like something from the 40's)
But the seat sets up above the frame rails. So gotta figure something
out....
You'll be able to see it when I finally get the photo's to dave.

Well, truth is it was my own fault for not making it.
I was close to home and decided it might be neat to go to this scenic
overlook and see the whitecaps on the river.
Without the detour, I would probably have rolled ito the garage just before
the rain, but shoot, it was fun all the way.!!
Just wondering about your seat. Dont the tops of the side covers cover the
reg???

I need to work something out with the rain. My seat does not cover the regulator like moto guzzi seats do. I haven't been totally soaked yet, but it's just a matter of time.
