[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 145544, member: 485"] The problem with fully floating seat is you have to allow for more clearance to the mudguard, I fitted a standard AVO on my special "C", Which at one time was a "D", Feels good to me, Much like the "D", But I have a funny seat on the special, Which gives more clearance. Cheers Bill. I fitted a fully floating seat to another "C" Twin, With a standard seat and springs, Using the standard top fittings at both ends on a bit of Stainless steel, But it has to have a bend in it to clear the rear frame + I tweaked the rear seat Fittings at an angle !, Also to stop the seat fittings on the seat bending I made where it bolts up , Solid, Not a Pivot !!!. I said standard springs on the "C", But I think they are long pettiford springs ?. [/QUOTE]
