Thanks for the compliment and great information!
The seat has a funny story. Now funny , at the time it just kind of really pissed me off.
That seat I have pictured above came off a girls Murray Jet Fire 64 (as well as the handlebar grips). I bought black marine grade vinyl ( 5 yards ) and some white piping (welting). Well, the two times I recovered it, I still wasn't 100% satisfied with the outcome ( it reminds me of a swollen tick). And the piping thing wasn't really thought out either.
okay so I will live with it.
But, next time I'll find a professional to handle recovering and attaching the welting.
And then, shortly after putting it on the bike, the front rivet on the bottom seat pan came loose.
This makes the the whole seat swing side to side when pedaling. So I removed it , called it bad names and threw it in the corner and put the other seat on it.
I have ordered a cruiser seat, until I can find the correct seat.
So who makes the correct seat? Persons?
Anyway, You are very knowledgeable of this subject, thanks for sharing .
i still want to build a "maggot fly green" flightliner
