I was using an old sweater rolled up for a while but it was too lumpy... but I at least had shocks when I was riding without a seat! :o

No actually, I was gonna drag it in here and torch it to bend it a little more, but someone told me not to do it.
You think I should?

I'd take it off and torch it then dunk it in water real quick.

I would never. But I will poke a little fun when help is needed. How much you think you need to take off the stand? I could hack mine up and we'll trade. I don't need it yet.

I don't know. It's fine for now, I just use the lock and push on the right grip when I'm done riding, to make sure it doesn't come off of it.
