Hi All,

Being that I will be riding to the National on my bike with the Harper's
seat.....any thoughts on products to seal up the stich threads? I guess I
could always wrap a water proof material around the seat.

By the way John.....you coming to the Nats?

Regards...Ian

 I tried a Harper's seat on my Eldo and it was comfortable but keep in
mind that it absorbs water through the stitching. If the seat gets wet
and you sit on it, it oozes water all over your ass.
I went for the waterproof MG Cycle seat sans the springs and front
mount. Machined up some spacer/couplers where the springs went so the
seat could be mounted lower.
Seat is firmer than Harpers but I have done a 1000 mile burn plus
several 700+ mile burns with no sore ass.
