Air seat question

If I remember correctly, that Semcycle seat base is the same (or similar
to) the Viscount seat base. I know people have successfully converted
Viscounts to air. Try searching the forum for "Viscount air" and see
what falls out.

What? Did I hear Viscount conversion?! I think there are a few people
who have done it. 😉 *hintcoughmecough 😄

How much of a difference in weight is there?

And yes, PICS!

Here is my reply from a Viscount airseat post that came up last month.

*Ok. I sure hope these work.

This one is the cutout. 12" tube shaped as shown.

This one is showing the piece of duct tape I put over the tube to keep
it from bulging. You can try it, but it didn't work for me. My
brother is running it without the tape right now

This is the rockin' orange vinyl that is currently covering the
seat.

The seat originally went into in a sock to keep the tube in place. My
bro later covered it without the sock.

You can see where I drilled the hole. I also put a few strips of duct
tape so the edges of the hole don't cut into the stem.

My brother with the seat in its current state. You can just barely
see the outline of the tube.

My original plan was to glue the vinyl down over the sock. My bro
covered the tube as is and now he is holding the sides of the cover
down with a strip of duct tape running from one side to the other
underneath the seat base. This was a huge experiment for me and it
kinda got down two ways, so if this is confusing or you don't
understand something, just ask and I'll be happy to help.

Good luck! *

And the last sentence should say "and it kinda got -done- two ways, so
if...."
