There was a picture of one......in the softail section.......under "Fatboy pics"
It was homemade and looked good to my eye.

Spooner, what did you have to do to mount that seat? Looks great too...

The rear spring support attaches to the frame just under the computer, the front is a "T" that fits into an existing bolt hole that holds the tank in place. The whole seat project took me about 2 hours from start to finished. I just completed a suicide clutch/tank shift set up. Pic attached. Lots of fun but still getting used to it.

All you need now is a fake kick starter.
