SusanC Report post Posted August 27, 2008 I was asked to make a seat today and to modify it to keep the lady from sliding back as she does in the seat now. Can one of the wonderful seat builders tell me what I would have to do to make this work? Thanks, Susan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Susan really depends on the seat. post a pic and i'm sure we can help you out. i wonder if she slides back because she is shorter and not sitting in the seat or it's just not shaped right and she is sliding off the back??

SusanC Report post Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) really depends on the seat. post a pic and i'm sure we can help you out. i wonder if she slides back because she is shorter and not sitting in the seat or it's just not shaped right and she is sliding off the back?? All I know so far is that it is a LePera silhouette seat. Her handlebars have recently been changed and now she is having trouble sliding back in the seat. I have only made solo seats and I really don't want to turn the work down, but I don't know where to start or how to make it fit her. Maybe I'm in over my head....

Roger Report post Posted August 27, 2008 that looks alot like much of what i have been covering these days. sounds like she is having to reach for the new bars and is sitting forward on the seat. you will need to add some push to move the seating position forward some. generally 2 to 4" is what is needed these two seats started out the same. as you can see one has some push added to it. somewhere around 3.5" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shirleyz Report post Posted August 27, 2008 That was very well documented Roger. I was trying to think of how to say it. A picture is worth a thousand words. Shirley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SusanC Report post Posted August 27, 2008 She is supposed to send me a picture of the actual seat tonight and some dimensions. Thanks for sending the pics and helping with this, I will probably have more questions tonight. Susan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
