Love my singh seat. Few things to complain about tho. The springs are an inch or two too long and there is no battery cover plate so Ill havto figure that out. I ordered a pair of clothespin springs to replace them so I hope that works out. Ill keep you posted

What did you do to black out your wheels?

Love the seat but it would drive me nuts looking at the rear tank bolt

Attached is a series of photos of my install.  Love the seat. Much more comfortable than the original.

It's killin me. I love the classic look of the spring seat. How do you clean up the back of the seat on the 1500? There's all the mounting points for the OEM seat and the saddle bag supports.

I've been searching, so I apologize if I'm rehashing this. I've been searching for a kit that fits. Sounds like it has to be modified. Anybody do this? how do you cover the battery compartment and still have access?

Info appreciated.

That Singh seat looks fantastic on your 800 Btw, the way it should look. I'm getting an 800 here soon so I'm going to hold onto the seat for that maybe. Love your bike, it reminds me a little of...mine. Those painted parts really set it apart. I'll have to get a better picture of the way I actually mounted my seat, It looks pretty good.

Dakuhosa , thanks for the compliment , brother ! Can't wait to see what design your having Heather's Leather's create for you . Ride is looking great ( original ) with that paint scheme . Looking forward to see the saddle !

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 think I saw it once while I was looking to buy, It was for sale and I should have bought it but it was up in NH I think. It was stunning.

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
