Looking to rubber mount my seat brat kit.

[shark1979]

I have the monstercraft brat kit . I am getting a good amount of vibes through the seat . Is there anyway to rubber mount the seat and keep it low profile? Was looking at the air shock set up , but that looks like it will raise my seat to high? Any ideas ?

Some nice thick rubber washers maybe?

I used skateboard truck bushings for mine.

How did they work? Can I get them at any skate shop?

I used three "vibration mounts" for my seat (kinda like these: http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00ueiEGzVRVjpo/Anti-Vibration-Mounts.jpg). They were about 20mm in diameter and 25mm tall. They allmost completely eliminated the vibration of the seat. It was quite amazing actually.

There are different hardness rubber available. They must compress around 3 to 5 millimeters under the weight of the rider to work best. They do make the seat move around a bit but that is no issue compared to the vibes.
