Well here it is

larger pic of the piece I made. The yellow stuff is CuSi tig rod that I used to attach the key to the base piece. I thought I'd get less distortion vs mild steel or stainless. I still had some.

Test with seat. There is a single tack on the upper stick to the base. I may have to rotate the top another degree or so. You can see the gap between the riser and the seat. I used this seat when I got the truck and actually liked it. Just another opportunity.

 

That looks real nice.

 

Lookin good!

 

Good design (sturdy) and well built!

 

Newport wiper alignment fixture is to take my mind off the seat.

 

Nice work....and good choice using Newport wipers.

 

Thanks BB. I still have your seat riser mods in my mind. I want to use some of the storage area under the seat.

I'm glad your still following.

I should have started with a 1 1/4 dia round. I'll live with what I have.

Yes. I'm sold on their products.

 

On the seat - being that I am short this may not apply to you but I leaned my seat back a little by making the front higher by a half inch or more. This has helped me for comfort on long rides with support under my legs. Test it out a little bit and see what you think. I went up approx 1/2” or more up front but after upholstery and all it didn’t quite end up that much.

Just a thought …..

 

The spacers in the pic are 1 1/2 in. straight up and I was debating 2 in. Your suggestion my be just the ticket. I'll test it out. Thanks.
