Solo seats on Airheads.

This solo seat is a copy of a Denfield Police seat. I made it by cutting the original seat pan down, and had a local upholsterer cut foam and cover it.



Here is the Denfield seat that we copied on my other R75/5:



I find the Police seat a lot more comfortable than the stock seat on my /5. Its softer, even with 40 year old foam.

I knew if I looked long enough someone would have something I liked! Finally! Bless you!

Tell us about it please!

Thanks, supershaft.

I made this from the stock seat, original seat pan and original foam. I trimmed about 10" off the back of the pan following the original curve. I then removed 10" from the middle of the foam - attached the front 1/3 of the foam to the back 1/3 (approx.) Did a little scultpting on the bump stop foam and brought it to the upholsterer for some new vinyl.

I agree. I love mine. I have put a 1000 miles on it in the past week and it's firm & comfortable.

There's a couple of sources out there for solo seats that fit straight on to airheads.

Is anyone a US dealer for them? Their /7 solo seat looks awesome.

Here's the one on my hack - Has a little luggage rack.

I just recently picked up a 1981 R80g/s with the standard bench seat. I'd like to convert to a solo seat with rear rack, but I have yet to see one of these in person.

How does the seat come off for access to the tool area? Does the seat come off by itself or does the luggage rack come off as well?

Thanks in advance !
