Default West eagle solo seat mounting kit q

I'm considering installing a West Eagle solo seat mounting kit on my 2016 Softail Slim. Can anyone provide me with the proper number for this kit. I've received conflicting information from sellers on EBay regarding which number fits this model. For example, one seller advertises h2394 as the right fit but another seller says that it will not fit. Also, any personal experience with this kit would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Definitely the best 'off the shelf' kit for the Slim you can buy.

I reviewed this and the La Rosa kit...





As you can see in the video, it does leave a gap between it and the rear fender, so you'll need to buy some rubber strip of some sort to fill it, but in my opinion it's way better than the La Rosa or Mother Roads kits.

Stinkerbill--thanks for the replies. I presmu from your first reply that this is the right kit number for a Slim (?) Also--I noticed on another of your posts that you replaced the rear rubber spacing . What did you use. Your modification looks fantastic.

Yep, definitely for the Slim

To fill the gap, I just ripped off the felt that came stuck to it and I bought a strip of 2" wide neoprene which you can then glue to the underside of the cover and cut to shape with a knife

Was pretty easy.

Stinkerbill, My name is Tom and I really don’t know how to use this forum. I saw your pics where you mounted a LePera Buddy Boy seat to your Slim. Would be very interested in knowing/ seeing how you attached the spring assemblies to the bottom of the Buddy Boy seat. Thank you, Tom
