After a little trial and error with the supplied springs, fitted the kit to an HD tractor seat. Used the steel bar underneath as already posted and it works a treat on my 2018 Deluxe.

I finally finished my sprung solo seat installation, and you can see it in post 5-6 of this thread.

I also give the dimensions for the mounting bracket if anyone else is interested in doing this modification.

Notice that the passenger seat can still be used if you wish.

Seat is installed. Still getting used to it, but can reach ground fine and seems to take the jolt out of road imperfections. Not that the new mono-shock frame transmits much. Not brutal like my Road Glide Limited! My lumbar stenosis agrees.

Instead of making a bracket like y'all did, I ordered up the stock Cross Bones bracket 52330-08. Has a slight offset to line up better and no shop time. Used an old fender bib I found in the barn to cover wiring and such. Thanks for all the good info to make this easy!!
