Did you install the cover yourself? If so, she's beautiful! I don't have the knowledge or experiance to attempt it and already have a stock cover, but will pay a local guy to install it over the frame this week.

how rusted were the seat and backrest springs. i just pulled my seat out of my 52 4400 today and the cover was missing in places exposing the internals and im not sure if its salvagable. i might be looking for new seats. my plan was to try no knock most of the rust off and just paint it to prevent it from rusting more. idk what did you do? any suggestions.
