I think my favorite part is that you picture the object in three dimensions and work out the details while you’re lying in bed late at night so that by morning you can sketch it out and know exactly how to go about it. And then your machining experience allows you to streamline the process. And the result is art.

I do like your taste in seats. I too had wondered what i could do about a seat with some suspension. I had already just put one of those old school banana seats and sissy bar posts because i wanted a bigger seat, also for some storage area underneath the seat. Still not sure what ill settle for, but i like watching your videos and i think you have some really good ideas. Thank you Paul and Mitch for the videos 😊

Thanks BG. Try penetrating oil. Get the frame upside down and squirt through the seat tube bottle bosses. You may have to use heat, which will probably hurt the paint. And "careful" force in the right amount. Good luck!
