Got done with my last piece of the saddle puzzle. Made with .035 wall chrome-alloy tubing (except the teeth and post). Hopefully get it painted this weekend. One question thou, where should the button be placed ? Dead center of of the post or offset it toward the top?platform.jpgplatform2.jpgplatform3.jpgplatform.jpgplatform2.jpgplatform3.jpg
 
If referring to versa button point app 1/3 down from top side of stem will be close.

Ok. thanks. I was trying to figure that out. I was attempting to gage where the predator button was but i didnt have anything to compare it too.

That should be close. You might just drill a couple holes and try it out to see what works best with your design. Looks great! You may want to add some friction tape or some sand into your paint to give the platform some grip - looks like it could be slippery when wet.

Gotcha. Will do. Thanks. I was thinking of wrapping with para cord around all the edges. Oh, BTW, want to say thanks for your site, just made an order yesterday!!
 
Final product. plus modified a leftover hawk helium mod for a step
