Although not a 1500 here's what it looks like on my 800

Pretty pleased with the outcome , although I'm going to work on raising up the front mount a tad bit over the winter season .   Dakuhosu , I can't remember the gentlemen's name but , he had an actual saddle as a seat for his Drifter and it looked awsome ! Just a thought for ya , brother !

I like those little saddlebags on Jack Gs bike and how low the seat looks. I like the color and style of the Honor Guard bike seat too. So I basically want a combination of the two that looks like a horse saddle. Then I'm going with the copper or bronze plated air cleaner covers and the gun style engraving on the motor. So don't get any ideas!

That's funny Dak, saw your post about your bike on the other topic and I asked you about the saddle on there. I guess the Singh won't work for that reason. I'll have to look at heathers too. Your bike is totally cool man. Love the colour scheme. Dubliner.

Dakuhosa , nice looking ride ! I'm curious if you have a pic of the style seat you picked from Heather's ?

I'm ordering a new seat from Heathers leathers. The sing saddle is exactly too narrow in front. You can see the battery and it's hard to get the look I  was going for. Heathers leathers has the exact seat I want, actually several looks I want. Also Corbin has a nice seat. Having said that the Singh saddle is exactly what I wanted (then) and I'll use it until I get my new one:)

I've been out of town for two weeks now that I see the bike I think the tank is way too wide for a narrow nosed saddle. Wonder if you could modify the existing one with springs. Oh well back to the drawing board.

Thanks for posting that picture. It's beautiful. Something to model mine after now. What a beautiful bike.

Well, I think the Singh Saddles are probably going to be closer to the original design than anything else out there....Here's a shot of a restored '53 Roadmaster

I was wondering for those of you with Singh or other Spring Seat single saddles, the horn of the saddle is so much narrower than the tank, does it look a little disproportionate? I was guessing the original indians had a narrow tank at the saddle and it fit properly. While the Spring seats look awesome and thats the look Id love to recreate I wonder if it ever bothers you?
