Pneumatic seat suspension by penn

I got tired of my butt getting pounded by my stingray seat. Looked around the shop for for what I had on hand fo fix the situation. The result worked out well. I mounted a hinged plate on the seat post with two tennis balls between them and remounted the seat. Very comfy ride over rough roads.

Good thinking. Truckers have used pneumatic shock absorbers under their seats for years.

Main light runs off of a sla 4ah batt. Backup headlight (56 led) runs off self contained batt. Turn & brake light run off self contained batt. Am installing v-regulators to get rid of self contained batt. system is trickle charged off white wire with aux 110v charger(removed from emer-light).

Russ nice bike, looks factory made like it came right off the show room floor. Very nice.

great idea. simple but does what you need. great looking bike also!

Russell,
Good looking machine. Congratulations. I had to laugh when I read about your tennis ball idea however. I have a Golden Retriever who loves to pop them. He chews done on them until they explode with a loud 'POP" I hope you don't have a blow out like that on a bumpy road.

Very nice bike there.

2Dr,
Thats why I used two tennis balls, doubt that both will pop together! I'm used to dogs chasing me to bite my tires, seems like I have a whole new problem now LOL

If you hear me comming please throw a leash on that tennis ball hunting dog!
