New Seat

[sonny8l3]

The 4th time is a charm. I tried a Yamaha and a Harley seat on my trike.I found that centrifical force on 2 wheels pushes my hip pockets into the seat. The same force on 3 wheels slides my light ash right out of the seat. So I tried a folding boat seat. It was a big improuvment, but it did look better on paper. Then I saw an RZR seat on a Polaris side by side. I found one on ebay from a salvage yard in Az. for $149. shiped. Super simple to mount and BOY HOWDY it is a dandy.

Some kinda comfortable and it fits the style of my scooter. I thought I'd pass this along to the folks with home made trikes.
Thanks for your time

Sounds great!! Pictures?

I'd really like to be able to post a picture. That would mean that I wasn't as computer stupid as I am. The post would be a lot better with a picture, not to mention, I'm pretty proud of the way it came out.

I'm guessing your problem is the pics are too big ... google picture sizing and find a program that allows you to downsize the pic (I'm a mac guy not sure about Micro Soft) Next get into the post screen, then click on the icon second row (same row as the B bold button, near the middle (insert image) under the emojis button. Select the smaller file, upload and voila, you've posted a pic.

Photobucket is a free app. Get it and put your pics there. Then insert pic from url.

I tried a few different seats. I finally ended up with this.

Boy Howdy, I like the idea of the old timey solo seat springs. I bet that makes a difference. If I was about 2" taller I'd probably try that.
Thanks for your time

Those are actually springs of a porch swing
They work real well. Stiff enough that I am not pounced around but springy enough that is cushions the ride some
But im not exactly small (250lbs) so someone that is lighter may find them to stiff
