John and Mike:
Thanks for the replies, I'll have Frank in Germany check with Mark E
first then contact either of you for either a picture or to buy Mike's
extra set if Mark E comes up dry.

You guys are great!

John:

I had six sets of solo seat hardware made by a high end shop. I sold 3 sets
to some of the guys on this list who had nothing but good to say about them.
I swapped 2 sets for parts and kept a set for my bike.

I could have more made, but they're require a bit of an investment on my
part. I'd have to get at least 6 more sets made to make it somewhat cost
effective. My asking price for a set, which is a pair of spring cups and a
pair of front hinges, powdercoated in black, is $90 US. They will be exact
reproductions of the originals except that the quality is better - no weld
spatter, sharp edges, etc.

If Frank and others are interested I'm willing to move forward and have more
made.

John Chicoine at jchic-@mestek.com makes these. I bought a pair for a seat
I thought was a police seat. Turned out to be a rigid mount so I have an
extra set. Contact John to see if he has some he can sell or send the
measurements. If not, then I can sell my set if the fellow is interested. These are very
high quality and cost me $90.00 plus shipping. Oh, btw, John also has pictures
of these he can email.
