The trick is going to be the "horn hook" part in the front, shown in the yellow circle. It looks like those square parts might have to be clearenced, but the real trick is having something for the bolt and washer on our bikes to grab onto.
It might be easier to go all old school on the front half and install a hinge that bolts to the seat, then remove the bolt and washer on the bike and screw the hinge in there. Then it's a solid attachment in the front, and it just hinges down to where the back brackets line up and can be screwed in for positioning.
I noticed the wire going to the seat. I'm guessing that's for a heated seat? It'd be easy to wire that in and put it on a spst switch in the handlebars to make it a working seat.
All in all, this looks doable to me!

I'd like to see how it mounts up.....Has anyone ever attempted to put an Indian seat on a Drifter? How about this particular one? I have to make a seat decision soon and this is about $140 more than a Corbin but very cool.
