- May 24, 2020, 08:51:04 AMI have mounted both a brown leather solo seat and a black leather one on my 1500. I have used both scissor springs and barrel springs....ideally for me the 3" springs are the correct height in either form...the scissor springs give more flexing and smooth the ride out a little more...if I could find 4" ones they would probably be better since I weigh about 245. I drilled the crossmember under the seat and put to threaded rivets in it to mount a steel plate on which the seat springs are attached. then the T-bar mounts to the tank bolt (used a slightly longer one) and the seat. 3 bolts and it comes right off....it takes a little playing around with the positioning to get it right but I like the way it looks and sits. It just isn't comfortable for any real length of time riding....after a steady 1/2 hour, my butt starts to go numb and then begins aching.... 
Looks cool, though 
Here is a pic with the brown one on

- May 23, 2020, 22:25:02 PMI saw a picture of a drifter 1500 with a springer solo seat similar to the type that is on the old 1940's Indians and Harleys. I'm not talking about the big buddy seat just a solo seat. Does anyone have a website where they are available for me to look at? I kinda like that they are somewhat higher than the solo seat on my 20002 drifters 1500. Maybe brackets are available to raise my solo seat a little, I don't know? If anyone knows please let me know.
