On mine I have this 1000 mile solo seat from a BMW cop bike (and boy was
he
pissed to find his seat missing!) It's basically a leather covered

tractor

seat. No padding, but butt-shaped so well, that you don't notice. I'm

6'5"

and I mounted it on springs and a 3" front bracket. Awkward as hell for
short folk. But then I don't care about short folk. It's my damn bike.

If you can find one of those 1000 mile bmw seats, snag it.

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???

Allmost made it, huh? 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.
