True, and right now it's set up about 1:1 so the shock needed to be much more stiff. In hindsight I should have done something more like Truckinduc and built a support higher up on the rear tire to get the shock more horizontal and change the ratio.

My brother made the seat and it has a steel seat pan. We welded a strip of steel 2 inches wide to the seat pan sticking out the front and welded that to the cross member we added for the monoshock top support. Didn't even bother to secure it on the back end. We did cut off the buck horns in the back and drilled and tapped a couple holes vertically. Then put a couple bolts in so that by tightening/loosening the bolts under the seat, we can raise or lower the seat at will.
