Title: Easy-off seat mod with rubber bumper support
Post by kuri77 on 11/10/11 at 20:26:59

Raised seat in front 1 3/4 inches which left big gap.
1-Took rubber bumpers off front of seat.
2-Screwed them into the holes on the frame after a little resizing on sander.
3-Pulled rear bumpers to stretch rubber then put in 2 thick nylon washers.
4-Got some discarded IKEA furniture bolts and red locktited a nut on each. Then rounded them on sander. I always carry a fold up allen wrench set in my pocket so can finger tighten bolts then a little extra with the wrench.
Easy to get out since they protrude past the edges of seat and up above rear light. All this in the pics.
