La Rossa solo spring seat on my Heritage
Mounted this thing up the other night. Easy installation, and it seems to fit the look of the bike, IMO. I used the Harley pan with no mods. It's comfortable (but not like a larger seat), and the extra suspension is kind of nice. Fortunately, I don't weigh alot, so the springs are adequate:

Yep, it's a crossbones pan. For the rear studs, I drilled into the crossmember behind the battery, and tapped the holes for the studs. Threaded the studs (that I made myself from 5/16 bolts) into the frame, and presto. The seat is bolted onto the backbone frame behind the tank. Pretty easy, it took about a half hour to do.

it is a good thing you do not weight much, there are reports of Larosa front mount bracket snapping off at speeds, of course they will always blame the 'user', but then again, that is typical Larosa .
On another note, the color is good and matches the bike. but don't you find that 'bates' style seats do not give you any support on acceleration ? I prefer deep dish style.

To be honest, I have not got too many miles on it yet--so my mind is not made up. The bates flat style seems most noticeable when taking off, but once at cruising altitude it seems to level off, and is level enought that I don't slide off. That said, I haven't ridden it enough to find the drawbacks yet.
I really like the look of it, though, so I am hoping the comfort part is at least adequate! I am going to try to post up some pics of it with my real camera tomorrow.
