Drift! is correct.  The front seat mount bolts through the spacer and into the rear tank hold down.  I love the seat. The two up seat had me sitting forward too far.  With this seat I am sitting a few inches further back and I can stretch my legs. Comfort wise it is basically the same as the stock seat.  Now I just have to make the seat rail.

GB if I'm not mistaken the seat is bolted to the same point in the front just over the spacer plate . The plate fills the gap to give a smoother flow with out the gap between the seat and tank .

JMBO know that's what the doctor ordered  ;) That's a nice flowing illusion brother ..... fantastic job  8)

The last thing I needed to do was fab a spacer shield to fill the gap between the seat and tank.  Done!  Banged it out the afternoon and powder coated it.

JMBO: If I'm not mistaken, in a previous pic the front seat mount was bolted to the bolt where you just bolted that new cover (which looks good, BTW).  Where did you mount the seat?

I put one one mine but I had to do away with the springs and fabricate my own mouting brackets. Bit I love the way it looks and it lowered the seat height about 6 inches, which is perfect for me because im 6'4" and I have long arms.

Jake, how about a pic of your seat mounted that way?  My Singh seat is mounted on the springs and I'd like to see the difference.

Cool Beans!   You're a great fella, D1!   I don't care what Ratman says about you!!!   :o

That is a good thought for my future (much) 800 project, though.   I need to get the Corbin solo that I bought on there fist, though, to see how I like that!

GB already covered my man . A quote from Singh himself  ;D ;)
- I can sure offer VDR members a 10 % discount on all my items. Needless to say, ebay takes 12 % of the sales price's share, so anyone buying direct will also get a 12% discount on top of the 10 %.
I also offer a 5 % veterans discount.

Wow were did that come from, I never even thought that you would be skimming off the top somehow, I know you would be doing it out of the goodness of your heart, to help your fellow Drifter Riders.
My feeling is kind of hurt over this, but I will get over it some time soon.

I didn't think so either!!   As a matter of fact, I just assumed you were picking up 10-25% of the cost, just to show us what a GREAT GUY you really are, helping out your fellow Drifters, and the Good Mr. Singh as well!!!   ;D ;D

Wow... Singh's work is fantastic.  Been chatting with him on FB for a bit, dude has skills.  Hoping I can score one of his seats this year for sure!
