Dodgeboy, If you decide to try the springer, I just remembered that I replaced the springs it came with, with slightly shorter springs, that I found on ebay, to lower it some, since I have short legs. Ebay is full of different size springs in different finishes.Rick.
Rick, on your pictured bike (a beauty btw :-) ) i can see you bolted the springs directly onto the frame. I thought you need seat spring containers (which are mentioned in the Ambassador booklets) between the frame and the springs...
I am fortunate to have 2 eldos at the moment. One has the harper seat the other the MG seat (without the springs). The harper seat is soft while the MG is more firm. I like them both. I might get some short 2" spring for the MG seat, thanks Rick for the suggestion
I have the Harper's solo saddle on my ambo. I really like it. And it looks great.
I didn't modify anything other than placing a couple of rubber spacers under the rear mounts. My Loopframe is an early ambo with the smaller gas tank.
Ah okay. So, the Harper seat is more likely designed for the Ambo...
This is next door to you, in Italy, so may be worth considering (?).https://www.subito.it/accessori-moto/sella-moto-guzzi-vintage-originale-bergamo-452687082.htmNo connection to the seller ...
Well guys...thanks again for the hints and tips! Yesterday i ordered some stuff from Stein Dinse and then i thought f* it and ordered the italian springer seat. I will see how it works out for me. The price and availability made the point on this one. Maybe in the future i try getting the Harper.Only thing is the springer looks a bit odd without the Ambo style spring containers (imho) but they are hard to come by here overseas. So if someone has a pair l+r for sale please let me know.
Like I wrote above, the Euro police seat doesn't use those, the springs aren't wide enough apart on the seat pan to fit into those spring containers. Plus, the springs wouldn't be long enough either. Those "containers" are meant for the US police sprung solo seat which is wider than the Euro police seat. But, if you want to try them anyway:https://www.eurojamb.com/collections/moto-guzzi-chassis/products/moto-guzzi-police-seat-spring-plus-mount-set-complete-750
