Mingh There was a red 3CL for sale in Italy a few months ago with one of these seats on it and it looked brilliant. I'll try and find a reference.

i recognize that seat type
i saw a prototype at giuseppe's a couple years ago
f'glass base looked solid bordering on overbuilt
looks like it uses the original 3CL seat foam
lets down a nicely done idea

when i look at the side view of the original solo seat i see the
graceful curve from tank to seat to bump
much like a young woman laying on her side
the extra bump lacks something

Yes I can see what you're saying Scott, the original hump seat appeared more curvy from the rear part of the cushion to the top of the hump but I still prefer the look of this seat to the tail fairing.

One of Wolfgang's seats..fiberglass. Nicely made. Much more comfortable than the original seat. Much lighter too.

how long is it again till christmas?

 

[Rusty Spokes]

Wolfgang's solo seat was not that expensive..six years ago. Maybe a birthday sort of price...

I think the Laverda Paradise one is hinged for use on the later bikes Rusty. I would imagine Wolfgang will have them though.

 

[Rusty Spokes]

I'm sure he does..his pricing was very competitive..and a good guy too.

yep wolfgang should have them on hand, too, i expect

Smee again,
does anyone know of repro dual seats with 3 look to fit 3CL frames? Same as above, but for 2 up

my genuine 3C seat is shorter than the ones in the pics here and somehow looks much better proportioned.

 

[3patC]

How about a picture Henry?

'tisn't, but it's the real thing. you can tell by the general very poor standard of the pressing. it looks more like the seven dwarfs bashed it into shape with a rock. it also weighs the proverbial ton.
when it comes time to put it back, i will likely make a far better one out of fibreglass or if i'm feeling adventurous (which i do rather less these days) ally! truth is this one is absolute crap, but it's the real thing so it has to sit on a shelf forever!

LOL, my Brother has one and says exactly the same as you.

we're right!
