Thanks for the input everyone, @stedlocks you can see why they changed the design, that little horse shoe thing stops the saddle flexing in the middle which makes it really uncomfortable. Think I’m going to drill some extra holes and tie it instead.
replace it with a link from a chain....looks cool, and still serves the purpose.
Unless you are a featherweight, the saddle will fail unless you re attach it to something
