I hope that you realize that you'll need to have a camera crew ready to ducument the installation... I've been lusting for one of those, but the thought of taking a knife and drill to the seat has me crying like a little girl! I need some documentation to fortify my resolve!!

This has GOT to feel like it did for the guy trapped behind a fallen rock out West who cut off his own arm to free himself...

Dang I never took pics

but was not too bad I never buggered things up too much.. need to get proper metric tools. mine were just a bit awkward.. getting the seat off was not too bad (again easier with proper tools) . drilling the holes easy peesy.

putting the seat back on was not too hard.. the hardest part taking it off and putting it back on was the clip on the shock.. that was hard to do

took HUGE breath as I cut into the seat.. hardest part there was getting the angle right to be able to bolt the bar into the part under the seat,, that took forever..

finally got it done and did not screw the seat up too much, but I did accidently make the cut a little too big, so I put some clear silicone all around it so keeping my fingeys crossed

You are one VERY brave soldier and I salute you! Now let's see the final results and hear how much you like it!
I STILL don't think I could do it!

You haven't seen MY eye exam reports recently... AAaargh! Seiously though... Detached retina in my left eyeball and as much laser work as two eyeballs can stand due to 46 years of Tyoe I diabetes...
It ain't pretty getting old, but it IS interesting!!

Maybe some day they'll give us a group discount on "well-trained" dogs!
