Solo Seat Dimensions (Read 222 times)

JohnsonLager Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 121	Solo Seat Dimensions 06/27/14 at 17:57:18 What solo seat dimensions have worked for people on S40s? I measured only 5" from hole to hole on the frame where I think the back posts on a solo seat should go and when I look up solo seats the typical lengths are 6.5"-7".

Those useless hairpin springs didn't seem to move so much as a fraction of an inch... Why are you laughing? Pic looks decent enough to be in the TT thread on that subject...

Odd. When I had a set of them, I bottomed them out and only weighed about 240# at the time. That's why I switched to 5 inch barrel springs.

When the solo seat conversion and rigid frame bars get done I'll probably use riding mower seat springs. Just the right amount of "give" to those, and I happen to have a junk mower as a perfect spring donor...
