Thanks for the reply Shawn. I’m not at all opposed to using the original seat. I’m 99% positive it is the seat the bike came with and other than the leather it really is in GREAT condition! I it is a Mesinger I think but it is just a little different in the way the horizontal bars attach to the spring support than all of the other Messinger seats that I have been able to find. I would like to ask you a few things as I am here to learn and you know FAR more than me.
(1) What would you do if it were yours?
(2) I’m not all that tall 5’8. Would the Lobdell offer any advantages being able to go down further because of its spring arrangement? I’ve never ridden one of these so…?
(3) MOST importantly. I’m going to be RIDING and putting miles this machine on a regular basis. What is the most comfortable option I have, be it Lobdell, Messinger, or something else while still preserving the style of her and not looking out of place?
Regardless of what I put on the bike, I will have the original seat recovered and it will stay with the bike.
I will post some more detailed pics of progress and the seat tomorrow, we’ll today actually
I intended to earlier but we had our grand babies over for the evening
Thanks for your help!
