Man ... my but & busted lumbar both ache just lookin' at that seat! By hey if you're cool with it, then that's cool! Great job, very creative! 8) |

You might consider just getting a couple of pairs of vice-grips and bending a 1/4" to 1/2" of the edge down. |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Decide! Post by mpescatori on 09/27/05 at 09:13:02 Vroom1776, yes, you DID spell "goatee" correctly, ;D. But then, would a goatee emoticon look like this ;D> I hope it works, OR the Webmaster could edit the emoticon list and include one. May I also suggest 8{, which is black goggles and a thick handlebar moustache. Not necessarily "Village People" either, just good ol' lookin rough. And this %\ a wry-tough face with a black patch over one eye... Still, I hope you won't need any "H" ointment M |

Post by Trippah on 09/27/05 at 20:00:05 Hi- I'm not sure, but if you have a slip & slide, might you be risking the gene pool? ;D I would at least go for a wooly covering, although I don't see that fitting in with the rest of the bike. Does look great though. |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Decide! Post by babbalou on 09/28/05 at 15:23:31 Actually, that seat looks more comfortable than my bicycle seat. I used to ride an old Trek with basically, a leather covered axe blade for a seat. My butt got used to it. Stylewise, I like going against the grain, doing the unpredictable. The seat's cool. 8) |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Decide! Post by Starlifter on 09/28/05 at 19:52:20 Okay, I must be the odd one out here, caus folk's seem to...err, llke your seat...Maybe I am old and have a soft butt or something...Hmmm, is there is something psycologically out of the ordinary going on here?...Are you a masochist?..a sadist?...or do you just go on very very short rides? Sorry, I just don't get it. ??? But hey, as they say, it's your bike, and your ride! ;D |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Deci Post by Wolfie on 09/28/05 at 20:48:45 Oddly enough I find it extremely cool and a lot more comfortable looking than the wooden chairs from elementary school. It fits in perfectly with the "minimalist" theme you've got going there. I just about expect D-Day from Animal House to hop on it and ride it up and down the stairs. Change the graphics a bit and you've gone to "Mad Max". I agree that a small radius curve around the edges is a good idea. I'm curious though; You've removed just about everything unnecessary except for the passenger footpegs. Any reason you've kept them? |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Deci Post by lancer on 09/29/05 at 06:59:53 This really makes me want to go to Lowes and get a piece of aluminum. |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Deci Post by Savage_Rob on 09/29/05 at 07:07:17 I dunno. I haven't tried anything that basic. The general shape is kinda cool but I'm betting that 100 miles would have me chuckin' that thing for the stock seat. Now if you covered it with black sheepskin, I'd be more inclined to like it - though an inch of foam or gel would help that along a bit further. |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Deci Post by vroom1776 on 09/29/05 at 09:07:52 Well let's see: "I just don't get it. ???" Well, I think I can safely say this is a chopper. (gonna make a shirt that says "I chopped my bike. Who chopped yours?") I've got a fantastic V* 1100, too, so for long trips, I ride that. I just squirt around town on the savage. The longest trip I'm likely to take on the savage is about 60 miles... even with the stock seat, last time I did that, my butt was sore for 2 days. This seat has a completley different shape and is actually not that bad as I sit on my haunches, not my tailbone, though I do need to do just a little more pounding, and paladin's vice-grip idea... "passenger pegs" Simply have not taken them off yet... when the bike was stock I used to put one or both feet on there, or on long trips (I rode this bike, stock, from denver to seattle to madison wisconsin to boston to denver doing about 1000 miles a day... way worse than any 100 mile trip on a metal seat), sometimes actually sitting on the passenger pillion... "Madmax" when I had the fender on there and before I slapped on the red I got a lot of madmax and WWII comments Savage_Rob... making it less murderous... like I said, not that bad... may make another piece and spring mount it... who knows... That's one thing I love about this bike, it is so simple and I can always make something for it... make a bracket to fit my stock V* seat (which is awful, btw). All these mods are reversible, unless I break something, so I can always put the fender back on, and stock seat... Lancer, Diamond plate rocks. It is easy to work with. drill a hole in the wrong spot? no problem! I've got a round file! I made floorboard inserts for my V* and am making a LP frame too... |

Title: Re: Metal Seat: Idiotic or Moronic? You Deci Post by Greg_650 on 10/02/05 at 08:40:15 It's all a matter of perspective.... I think that what you gotta do is to drive around without any seat for a while. Just put one cheek on each frame tube and ride. After that, the diamond plate will feel like the best gel seat around :P |
