Hi,
During the summer I fitted a large Lycette type saddle to my 53 GF plunger, but was not entirely happy with the installation, so I intend to remedy that now.
My problem is that the springs are not fitting in a straight vertical manner from any of the holes in the saddle-frame to the fixture in the bike-frame, ie they are tilted backwards in the top, which looks odd.
I can not push the saddle-frame further into the tank aperture, so the only thing I can think of is to construct additional fittings to the saddle-frame that makes it possible to fit the springs under the actual seat, and not in the saddle-frame.
So, does anyone has any other ideas, or perhaps a picture on how this can be done. All pictures I have seen on saddle fitted GFs looks fine, but not mine
I have the right type of tank, the saddle is 33 cm long and 37 cm wide, and looks very much like the one I have seen in pictures, so there must be a trick to get this to fit
Regards
Nitti
