Default Vintage king and queen seat on a 1998 XL


I finally installed an old King and Queen seat I got off Craigslist. It is a Harley seat with an embroidered eagle. Was kinda dirty but cleaned up ok. I had to shorten the seat pan by 2.5" as it was too long and reshape the foam. Other than that, the base and rear fit nicely.
The holes in the chrome bracket that came with the seat that is used to attach the back of the seat to the sissy bar didn't exactly line up with the vintage trident sissy bar cross member, so I made a straight bracket out of flat stock and drilled two holes. I have to paint the bracket yet but it works.

Comments? Suggestions?

I like that allot .I think it'd look better on my Dyna though.I think it sort of overwhelms the rest of the bike a little, maybe some apes up front would balance it out.Still it looks comfy, I'll bet the ladies like it.
