Some of the higher seat mods leave the center unsupported to the point that the seat pan might fail. My seat looks a little sway back after my seat mod but to some extent that helps to keep a person from sliding forward.

Maybe you need a Photobucket update, because editing, resizing, rotating and cropping are simple there.
Open the individual picture in your Photobucket (not just the thumbnails of an entire folder), hover your mouse at the top of the photo and options appear! File, Edit, Resize, Rotate, Share, Order Prints.... etc. Also gives the capability to add text, draw on a pic, add special effects, borders, all kinds of stuff.

Oh, I love the yellow bikes. You gonna leave it yellow? And I really like the head cover painted black. That looks sweet!

I used a similar mod for my '87 seat. I used auto shock absorber bushings. (GM front upper) Went to hardware store and got longer bolts and metal sleeves for inside the bushings. Worked great. I put 2 on each side in the front. I'm not worrying about the gap, as it can't be seen when I'm on it.
(This pic was cropped from a bigger one, then resized to 400 kb, using PhotoImpact, a program that came with my wifes old scanner from 10 years ago) (oooo la la)
