  1. I have just a small question for anyone who has built a bent. I am building
    my first SWB with above seat steering, and my plans for the seat mounting
    are sort of a variation on the sliding boom that seems to be pretty popular.
    My question is my finished mounting will probably have 6 plus inches of
    adjustment on the base with the center of the adjustment range being a good
    starting point for someone of my size, I am 5 foot 7 inches. Would this be
    enough adjustment range or should I try to change my design to allow for
    more adjustment? I more than likely will be the only person riding this
    first build project, unless of course it turns out to be a good ride and I
    end up duplicating it.

    Opps looks like I might have confused my terminology a bit not sure sliding
    boom is what my seating mounting would be called. But any way my sliding
    seat mount will have about 6 plus inches of adjustment.
