Now that I have actually been riding my Coker, the homemade air saddle
is starting to show some signs of wear from striking the pavement. The
bumper on the front doesn't do much good due to the added thickness of
the air cushion. I needed to come up with some type of bumper system and
decided to add a handle instead .
The problem was having a 30" inseam, I had to ride with the shortest
post and didn't have any way to attach a handle directly to the post. I
did not want to mount a handle to the seat base and shorten it's life,
so this was my solution.
I used an old steel handlebar that I had laying out in the shop and
after cutting it to the necessary length and angle, I brazed it to the
seat post collar. Next, I mounted a "stubby" Profile bar end and
"instant handle/bumper" 😄 😄 😄
P.S.I may still have to modify the length of the handle
and possibly the angle of the bar end after it's
maiden voyage
