Hey thanks Tom, that's real nice of you to offer. I'll keep that in mind for later. What I'd really like to do now is just ride the thing after waiting almost 2 months for it to get here. The whole time I was waiting the weather was great, but one day after getting it running, we just had this humongous ice storm, and I haven't been able to ride it for a week. It has all of 20 miles on it.The only problem with the right photo is you'd have to remove that factory seat mount. As for suspension travel we'd have to build that in by raising the seat a little. As for 10" of travel; do you plan to do a lot of off-road riding?
If we lived closer I'd be happy to build a seat for you. How could we do it long distance?
I'd need some pretty accurate measurements but I think it could be done.
Tom
Oh well, I guess now's the time to work on it while the weather's bad. I've got a couple of modifications I'm working on.
