This is a good tip for me since I am looking to replace the old bench with a
solo. I will hunt down a Ural dealer and see what I can scare up and how
many rubles they want
Thanks for the info.........

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.

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??? Pete
