I got my new seat in already. Bought it from Agri-Supply on special email sale for $69.99. Man, is it ever nice or what?
Here's a side shot and some photos if any one is interested.
Notice the nice thick padding and the separated back and arm rests. I wanted a separated back because with all the pivoting I do inside the seat to look over my shoulder. I was getting a sore spot on the back of my spine where my belt loops are from the thinly padded stock seat which is a bucket seat type like the one Ken shows in his thread. Now there is a gap there, and the back height rest is adjustable up or down.
It also has a reflector on the back and an adjustment for body weight, which is tied in with a little air shock for a super comfortable ride. At least I think it's an air shock....sure looks like one to me. The weight range on the back says it's from 110 to 264 lbs. Says it's made in Turkey by Deger?
Here is the little cylinder which is tied in to the springs and weight adjustment for the spring seat/air cushion action.
And a view from the top of the seat showing the springs behind the back rest. The rod in the center belongs to the little air shock and whole assembly is tied together.
It also has a sliding base for fore and aft movement engaged by that chrome lever. Loretta will love that because the stock seat was adjustable too ... by bolts. So she always "reached" for the pedals.
All in all a pretty good deal for the sale price. Packed with big money features but priced for a pauper like me. I'll take it up this weekend ... maybe install it if I have time. My brand new retractable seat belt will go good with the seat too. I'm going to mount it without adding a swivel base first, to see it it's OK that way. But I'm planning to make it swivel at least 40° in each direction and also lock into the straight forward position.
