Good luck finding them, I've put out wanted ads for them with no luck, and a new replacement is over $30 each.

This is what I was thinking of using. Buy 2 for $32 and get free shipping.

Won't work for my application, these have too much slop for me. I thought you were talking about the coupling on the trail-a-bikes, but I have one of those trailers and the mounts are ok for a little trailer, but for a rigid heavy sidecar... no.

Actually a snow ski...
I alley scored an old set, still in their carrying bag, awhile back.... I've seen seats made from skateboards and such, and it got me thinking...
I was just talking to my sons, a week or so ago, about it....
Great minds think alike....
So how does that explain all of us...?

I'm going to make a banana seat out of a...drum roll please...banana seat. It appears I may be the only one doing that.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Skateboards make good seats --(see below) ---
I have a pair of snow skis that I planned to use for a mega sissy bar someday.

Water Skis also make good racks

I just did a trade for a Hawthorne w/ twin top tubes and a single mid tube. I don't really have any definite plans for it. If it'll help you out, let me know and I'm sure we can work something out.


would love to see this in the build off, I'm thinking about using the same frame
