Thanks for the info Greg.
I have heard bad things about the Harper's pan. I was comparing Mark's and
MG Cycle's. I don't know if a springer seat will be the ticket. MG Cycle
warns of an about 200 pound limit. I'm 100 pounds over that and then some.
Yeah wide is good. Maybe I should just think of another (spare) bench seat.

I think the foam may be original - but after thirty years, that doesn't matter much. The foam would simply collapse after a while and I would end up with essentially no padding. I ordered a solo police seat from Mark and have it installed now. On the few short rides that I've taken (less than 50 miles each time) it has felt MUCH better. The true test will be the trip up to the National rally (1,050 miles one-way from Tampa; not including my straying habbits :>). If I don't post my thoughts after I get back, be sure to remind me. I've heard the seat pan on the Harper solo seat cracks easily - even when tightening the nuts to the frame. I don't have first hand experience here, but this info comes from a reliable source. I'm sure someone on the list has tried the MG Cycle seats and can comment about them. What I really want to do sometime is get an old steel farm implement seat. The kind with the giant seat pan. I think it would look cool and be very comfortable (WIDE - COMFORT)! :> |
