Title: Different kind of solo seat.
Post by: harmonyhenry on May 18, 2017, 01:10:22 AM

Hey guys, I am in the process of sprucing up a 1980 r65 when this set up caught my attention. I'm not exactly sure what all I would have to do to do something like this but i figured that this was the place to guide me. I think I am able to fabricate a sturdy seat but the shocks is what really gets me. As I said I don't know much and am still learning. I don't want to just go in blind. Not sure if I would have to do anything specific or how it would affect the handling. I am eager to learn and read if anyone could point me in the right direction.
As always, thanks.  ;)

Think my next build will be something along these lines also.

This is my inspiration.

I saw someone somewhere else comment that the shocks are Foxs air shocks. I'm more intrested in how i have to arrange them so that its balanced. Can't compromise that for looks

To each his own I suppose, but to my eye that thing is an abomination.
