Just me speculating... You are pretty spot on. The pieces are likely made by a shop- more so machine made vs hand made- like for instance the seat piece in the original is one solid piece but the Lazy L is likely several pieces under the ground seat which cuts the cost. Hand stitched vs machine- things like that.

Elite Veteran Posts: 733	I heard from someone that rode in both that she felt like the Lazy l sat he legs back a little further than the original. She sold it and got another original. I have noticed in some of the pics of the Lazy L that the stirrups are hung a little further back. I do know people that have the Lazy L and like them. If you call I am sure Larry will explain the difference to you, he is very nice.
