Scott Seatmaker strikes again!
Talked to Scott a few weeks back had an idea to get my seat more comfortable and have the bike fit me a bit better. Over the past year I have been thinking that it would be nice to have a better backrest and scoot me forward a bit so I'm not hunched over at the shoulders to grab the ridgeback bars. I found out the other day the previous owner put 2.5" extenders on the foot pegs, so my legs actually fit great, just my arms are short. I guess my arms are shorter than my legs? :loony:
Anyways we emailed back and forth a bunch of times, I went back and forth of my design sense as I have zero creativity in my bones.
The job he did was superb! And the best part is how damn comfy this seat is. It's like night and day. I got the chance to put about 180 miles in the saddle and I felt great afterwards! Can't thank him enough, best money I've spent so far on my dog.
I am definitly ready to pound the payment this fall. I feel like this seat will allow me to do alot more miles than I previously could, feels like a different bike almost! On the ridgeback stock seat once I hit the 200-225 mile mark in a day I was always riding on 1 ass check then the other to try and get where I'm going. I don't think doing 300 miles in this seat a day will be hard. Can't wait to give it try!
Scott, Might be sending you the Pillon here shortly to do the same mod. The lady is not happy anymore :lol:
Here are some build pics that Scott sent my way after the build, I thought they were cool so figured I would post them up to sho the work that goes into it. :up:
