I wanted to keep the seat bases standard the big seat is often swapped out for standard also I may revert to original struts on one bike
The twin racer and the flash have single supports the comet racet has had many single supports square round steel alloy there is not too much stress on a solo race track but for the road comet two up with throw over bags I wanted strength hence the extra support and it's no trouble to add a strut especially with a coilover

Thanks a lot, as I say I only fitted mine a week ago as an experiment, it does make a huge difference to comfort, my seat is a home made long version and the frame is thicker than standard in stainless but I will definitely keep an eye on it, I shall probably make a better version as well, I like the bottom fittings on MartynGs

Front seat bracket repaired in NZ 1995 at Taupo after a few miles of unsealed roads (Genital Annie), rings a bell, now sealed the whole route.
Triangulated s/s bracket, screwed to the aluminium seat base.

Support lugs moved outboard in line with footrest plates but retained friction damper and made narrower knob for R.H.S.
