KH handle with Viscount

The KH handle fits the Viscount saddle like it was made for it. (After
you remove the 2 screw receivers from the original.)
I think it makes a great trials saddle, very comfortable to hold seat
out.

*First remove the 2 places where the Viscount screws go in.
*I did that by using a 1/2 drill bit and then using wire cutters to get
the little pieces of metal that were left.
*Peel back the cover and padding, you will need to cut the foam away
from the metal base.
*Drill the 4 holes.
*Put the carriage bolts in.
*I then hot glued the cover back in place.
*Bolt the handle on and you've got one of the cheapest and best trials
seats.

Nice! BTW when the back screws strip out, just use a couple of pop
rivets for a perfect attachment.

so by yep you mean yes it was hard and yes a fusion cover would fit on
it ? and alot to put the bolt in.. did you cut the foam then made the
holes or you just lifted the foam and made holes.. and to take the
viscount cover off without scraping your foam did you bloew-dry it or
something .. I think its glued isnt it ?

I can answer a few of the questions.
The Viscount metal base is a little less than 1 cm longer than the KH
base. The Fusion seat cover has stretchy fabric on the front or back
so it should fit easily enough after allowing for the stretching. I'm
not sure how well it will fit the shape and form and curvature though.
The Viscount has a different shape. I suspect it will all fit fine.

Getting the Viscount cover off the Viscount foam is tedious if you want
to keep the foam. The seat cover is glued on the foam using a glue
similar to rubber cement. You have to peel it off slowly and carefully
and use a knife or utility razor to scrape along the fabric. I don't
know if heating up the glue and cover with a blow drier or heat gun
would make it easier to peel off the foam or not. The foam is also
glued to the metal seat base and formed (molded) around the seat base.
Peeling off the foam from the seat base without ripping out chunks of
foam is also tedious. Leave the foam on the metal base if you can.

Depends on how you define better.
The Viscount has a metal base so it is going to flex less and may hold
up longer than a KH or Miyata with a plastic base. The Viscount also
has a different shape than the KH or Miyata and prefer that saddle
shape. But the metal base makes it heavier and the shape may or may
not agree with you.
