New question and a bit of an update since my last post. I bought a double j off a friend, a Lynn McKenzie. I like the saddle a lot, and my legs naturally sit more forward in this saddle vs my diamond cross that I felt like I had to force my legs to be more forward or even just straight.. I have long legs and have a tendency to let them get behind me. I'm going to be actually running in my new saddle this weekend hopefully so fingers crossed I ride better in it! However to benefit from the double rigging with the Lynn McKenzie I need to use a Latigo on the other side as well instead of an off billet. I cannot find any videos on how to properly do this. Does anyone happen to know where I can find a video? Apparently I'm not smart enough to figure it out myself lol. TIA!

You do it the same as you do the side you cinch up, I've put a picture below. Mine is in the middle position, with the knot at the top insteaf of the tongue through the hole. If you want to do the middle, attach it to the left side, run through girth up through the right side, back through girth to the left, pull across the front of the D's and into the backside of the right one, & then tuck under like you would a single D rigged saddle

I think I understand what you mean...but if you don't mind taking a picture of yours that would be awesome! I'm having a hard time like finishing it correctly. I think if I see the end result of how yours is set up I could probably do it.
