What kind of seat is that and where did  you find it??

It's a Tobin seat. Here's one of many threads on the subject: Tobin Seats. You can also go to his website: www.tobinseats.com for other info.

Yes, it does. Thanks everyone.

Not sure if I'll make it or not, Doyle, because of the timing. Glad you changed your sig from 'Low Budget . . .'

Not painted, Dan, but powdercoated. Had it done a couple years ago actually and it's held up fine.

Thanks! I've been looking at mine being silver for five years now....time for a change. My boots have actually rubbed them to chrome, that's why I was asking about wear.

Thanks again,

Dan

Here's what I know about the stickers.  The Air Force is no longer requiring them for access to their installations, however, the rest of DoD has not adopted such a policy.  At Army installations there are still 100% ID checks and those without decals must go through an inspection line which can be a royal pain.  I don't foresee us reducing that security level for some time.  Nothing official just my $.02 (except for what's currently happening).

I dont know all the exact particulars on this but our base just adopted this. Eventually it will be DOD wide (no base stickers) Its a money issue and it "makes us a target" for terrorists having a DOD sticker on the vehical. Not all USAF bases are doing it yet but it is spreading. I just went to a base safety meeting for squadron motorcycle safety monitors. We talked about the fact that all bases that dont use stickers anymore are allowing anyone to ride on, even if they dont have a MSF class which is required by regulation. My base, Sheppard, is going to be the first base to use a "motorcycle riders card" Getting it issued is a whole story in itself but long story short, the only way to get on base once implemented, will be to use your CAC card and this new "riders card".

Lived through that already. When the stricter security started you had to have a post decal and ID card. Motorcyclists also had to show their MSF card which we know is required to get a sticker for a motorcycle. Now, I'm sure there are those that registered a cage and put the sticker on the motorcycle, but I believe most folks did the right thing and it was just another hassle to reduce the number of motorcyclists on post.
