Regarding a Singh Spring seat, do they have to sit this high off the bike? THis is a shot of somone elses bike I found on the web, forgive me if theres a problem using it, tx Dubliner
The rear fender moves with the suspension, quite a bit. I believe you need about 5 1/2 inches clearance.
Attached is a photo of my installation. My seat came with two sets of springs. I used the shorter one and anchored the bottom of the spring to the side of the cast part of the rear frame. Your photo looks like you used a longer spring and it is hard to tell from the photo where the bottom mount is anchored. The combination of a shorter spring and a different mount point should lower the seat and still give plenty of room for fender travel.
Yes Jmbo, that's more the look I'd prefer. Did you make a cover to go under the seat/ over the battery?
Dubliner , not sure if JMBO made the battery cover or not , but I do know Singh sells the cover as well .

Yes, I made the cover out of metal. I also made a metal cover to fill the gap between the back of the tank and the seat (Not pictured). It makes the seat look more like it belongs on the bike.
Jimbo, could you take a few pics of that as I really want the saddle to look as a fixture, so the plates sond like they will blend it into the bike more so.
