Don't know what I'm doing, gonna do it anyway.
All seats matter, without them we are left with a post...ouch
Lord I apologize, be with the pygmies down there in New Guinea.
That springer front gives it a real long look!

I love the pictures I just want to come visit and take pictures of my rides there, You take pictures in front of some very interesting architecture.

Thanks. I'm pretty proud of my city. Every corner is a great photo opportunity and I live in the heart of Savannah's Historic District. There is a good reason that we have over 13 million visitors a year.

The reason is that General William T. Sherman presented the city of Savannah to President Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas gift instead of destroying it about 150 years ago!
I love visiting Savannah BTW!
I have no idea if I will actually try this out or not, but a friend posted up some pics of a king and queen seat idea he had. I remembered that I still have this tucked away somewhere.
Would this qualify as a banana seat?
It's pretty big though. This is approximately what I think it would look like on Poke Choppa.
If I go the Easy Rider route, I may have to use these pipes and join a commune.

Come on over and we'll hit the streets!!
We say that Sherman felt Savannah was too nice to burn on his March to the Sea, but the truth is the city fathers met him on the outskirts of the city and bribed him with millions of dollars worth of cotton, a mansion to stay in, and a large contingent of prostitutes. While this was going on, our army was escaping across the river on a makeshift raft bridge.
Stick the actual king/queen on there for giggles. Might work ok with it positioned to ride on the back?
Would be interesting to see it mocked up.

Only someone from Lancaster Ohio would fall for that old trick.....oh wait...
That seat is cool, but man it's gotta be heavy.
Somebody did a mock king/queen last year...Smoopy? maybe?
Yeah, I remember that bike. I think he also had the beginnings of a king and queen trike years ago.
If there's a frame out there to support that seat, you've got it with that Electra
Maybe position it a little forward in order to use the 'queen' seat for riding? You've rode odder bikes *cough*Fugsley *cough* [emoji16]

Been waiting for years to see you use that on something!

Tracked down the kingfish/queenfish seat from my stash along with a crutch
Here is the first balancing act mock up with it slammed on the wheel and frame.
The proportions are as big as I thought they would be. No way could I easily ride it with it slammed this low though. I laid the bike out on the pavers to do some aerial view mockups. The natural line for the sissy bar isn't going to line up with the axle or frame end, so I am going to see if I can use fork legs to handle the curved bottom end of the sissy bar and junction to the frame/axles.

The tip on the crutch will come in handy when you turn the bike over to put the chain on...
