Hi all
I have been switching between the gunfighter seat to carry my daughter and back to the solo seat(newspeedmaster solo) and it is a pain to keep fitting the middle post to hold down the gunfighter seat.
To keep reaching under the rear guard to re attach the seat post is awkward to say the least.

Has anyone come up with a screw in seat post ?

Been a while since I played with one of those seats but if they don't already have a little hook in the front like the solo saddle couldn't you put one on there fairly easy? Thus securing the front and the rear making the center a non-issue?

Are you using the OEM mount with the two bolts and spike or the one Fasteddy sells?

Fasteddy bolt (pointed out by the arrow) is easy to get on and off.

I used the fast eddie bolt when I had the gunfighter seat too. It works great. You could put this together yourself though with a trip to the hardware store.

I am using the OEM bolt that gets screwed down by two small bolts.
I will look into the Fast Eddie option
I think Eddie once told me he didnt post to Aus. Maybe that was for something to big I was ordering.
Thanks for the replies guys.
