Buggy seat to fit flexifoil 2002 bug

MotoFoo86 - 30-8-2019 at 01:05 AM

After my recent acquisition of a libre full race I have decided to frankenbuggy my flexi out and make it a Bigfoot type. My original plan was to get a Peter Lynn xr+ seat which I've used on it before (thanks wind_dog) but it appears these are no longer readily available. Kent has been trying his hardest for me. I'd love a vtt seat but I don't believe he is producing anymore. Buggy bags I realize is an option but I'm not loving the price point and timeframe. Any recommendations/options are appreciated!

Thanks

Do you have confirmation that Van is truly out of the picture for a VTT seat? I ask this because he did get out for quite a while but he and his family moved out to more of a farm setting a couple of years ago and when he and I last communicated he was not ruling out dong some more things. I or a bunch of us here on PKF have his contact info should you want to reach out to him directly. I can personally vouch for how good his seats are and his metal work is tops too.

Windstruck, I have a VTT seat on my libre so I need no convincing on the quality. It was honestly my number #1 choice, Ive only managed to contact him once and it was a year ago. At that point he said he wasn't making more but I'd love to try to get ahold of him again and see if I can make him change his mind. Unfortunately I only have his pkf info and I don't believe he's logged onto here in a long time. If you wouldn't mind sharing any of his other info that would be great.

Got ahold of van, not sure if we're a go or not. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I'm going to say I'm dead in the water at this point. Looks like the frankenbuggy will not make it to AtBE, and I'll have to invest in a buggy bags seat.
