I inherited a Vision R4? SWB USS from my brother in law. I tore it apart to rebuild & repaint & didn't pay close enough attention to how the seat fabric attaches to the seat frame. I've spent quite a bit of time fiddling with it & can't figure it out.

There are about 6 2" wide Velcro straps that go left to right across the frame. About 2 under my butt & 4 across the back. In the front there is a 3/4" or so wide strap about 6" long with a buckle. In the front of the seat frame is a 3" long piece of tubing like a saddle horn. What is not clear to me is how this narrow strap is intended to attach to the frame. The saddle horn tube seems to serve only to cause a very unpleasent injury should I be thrown forward in the seat.

Is there any trick to how the seat fabric attaches to the frame?

You'd probably have better luck asking about this on www.bentrideronline.com.

in Yahoo groups, there is a vision owners group. they have a list of vision manuals including seat mesh installation.

Thanks for the links. I posted this question on bentrider & I'll check to see if there is a response there next.

I tried the link to the yahoo group but it gives me an error. Does the link work for you?
