Title: Different seat for my '99 Bassa?
Post by: normzone on December 05, 2021, 09:21:07 PM
I'm coming to terms with the fact that the seat on my Bassa was custom made for a shorter rider than I, and that I'm older than I was when I bought the bike in '14.

I have fond memories of the bench seat on my Eldo, but I was forty years younger then also.

What is my best alternative at this stage in the game for something that will fit my body (6'1"/265) that will bolt up to the Bassa with minimal mods?

As always, thanks for your support.

Contact Bill Mayer Saddles. He is just a few hours north of you and will set you up. I have one on my 2001 Cal Special. It raised me 4 inches and made all the difference n the world.

Forget that last post. It looks like he is no longer with us. RIP.

He was a good guy.  There once was a Rule 34 image linked here, but the link was deleted, so I also deleted this link to the hilarious image. PM me if your curiosity exceeds your good judgment

I enjoy the image but it may not meet forum standards ;-)

He may have gotten hacked.

Or his photo collection is more ... interesting ... than mine  :popcorn:

I'm not intent on custom build, I can find that. I'm hoping to get lucky with some common compatible stock or something.

Keep an eye on Facebook marketplace and CL. Sometimes a nice aftermarket seat pops up.
