BB good point. However most American Ironhorse's that I've seen are sitting in showroom floors or garages. They're mostly "pretty" bikes aren't they?   Logged     If you are going to do something, do it well, and leave something witchy....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #155053 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:Rear Seat Modification 3 Years, 4 Months ago   Trust me, once you get all 4 cups down and secure. There's no lateral nor posterior/anterior movement at all. Combine that with the fact that you've got someone sitting on it 99.9% of the time while the bike is in motion and this thing isn't coming off. Now, you may loose your passenger due to other reasons (fell asleep, some sort of spastic attack, rear end collision, wheelie, insert your reason HERE), but the seat coming loose won't be one of them. Someone sitting on the seat keeps the cups compressed and any significant reduction in weight on the seat will only serve to cause the cups to relax thereby increasing the hold it has on the fender. There's no slip-sliding going on here. But, like everything else in life, this mod. will not be for everyone, so use it or not at your discretion.

Jen's posterior has quite a bit of movement in recent years.

Dumb question I know but this is my first metric and I have not had the seat off. If so, what do you do with the holes? Plug them with something?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #155381 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want.
