  1. <I hereby resurrect this thread from the dead>

    I found out today that rear Kinport bumpers will NOT fit on the older
    Japanese made Miyata saddles. The front Kinport handle fits old and new
    Miyata saddles fine. But there's no way the rear one fits! Why on earth
    would they change the dimensions like this?
    This is really frustrating as I just bought two of these to replace
    bumpers borrowed off Miyata saddles to build airseats. I guess it's not
    too bad in the case of my CF airseat, where I can slot out the carriage
    bolt holes...

  2. That's a bummer,

    Why can't you put them on the CF base and drill it out to fit?

    That is so strange! I was just looking at this thread...this thread from
    2 years ago. And here it is. Anyways, to add some relevance to my post,
    couldnt you just ream out the hole in the bumper a little? Or even in
    the base if it is plastic?

  5. Thanks, Jagur. Somehow I thought this would have been mentioned here,
    but couldn't find it. (To make your posts more useful to future users
    try and give them a subject line which accurately reflects what you want
    to find out. Eg 'Kinport rear bumpers do not fit old miyata saddle' is
    in my opinion much better than 'miyata handle bolt patterns'. Just my
    2c)

    OB1 - there isn't enough material on the bumper itself to make the holes
    bigger, but making the holes in the plastic seat base may work. I may
    end up doing this...
