I believe that seat is from a 2005 or so Springer Softail classic. Found cheap on Craigs it was in new condition: a "take off" and it came with the matching P Pad:

Fitting. It works. 155mm Howitzer and a slim. Recruitment and retention would be higher if a slim was basic issue.

Well now my bike sounds like a Harley! RUSH slip-ons, with 2" baffles. Left those ugly heat shields off.

Used some 3M rubber piping....

Here's what I used - on Amazon.co.uk

"Z Shape 157"(4Meter) CAR TRUCK Motor Door Rubber Strip Weatherstrip Seals Hollow" by Wode from Amazon.co.uk

That is the product name and company on Amazon.co.uk. Unbelievably easy to apply as it has 3M tape already on it. Really flexible so it went round the corners without cutting. I ended up putting one layer on top of another i.e. double depth as the gap round the rear of the seat was about an inch. Are you on the Warrs rideout this morning?
