Kent Polk Railgun CFHS Seat


Railgun on the Bacchetta Ti Aero  
 


I modified the Railgun seat to eliminate the wide outward tapered flair (about 3 inches on each side) at the top.  (I used a dremel and just cut that part off).  My understanding is that the additional flair was to accommodate a CF compartment to hold `stuff' and bottles.  

 

 



The headrest is a key element on the bike.  Combine the steep angle of recline of the seat with the climbing of hills ... I need it.  (I want my head to be perpendicular to the plane of the ground.  This helps me deal with the issues of balance and forward sighting of the road (Training the Vestibular System).  I used lightweight PVC pipe, cable ties, a piece of Foam Plumbing Tube Pipe Insulation
and a short strip of Gorilla tape to lash it to my particular need.
