LOL that is a big fluffy seat. Kinda cold out not really feeling like going out and taking seat back off might do it later if not will post tomm. But i think i got it under control. will stop by the dealership and see what they say but if they dont have a fix i dont think it will be too hard for me to fab up the original bracket
Here are pictures of the seat and the bracket as good as i could get them anyways. So on the picture of the bracket on the seat you can see that i was only able to put in one bolt because i had to slide the bracket back to make it line up with the fender bolt. So i need to cut one of the holes off because the bracket is too long back under the seat and does not allow the bracket to be bolted alway the way down (the side picture tries to show this gap). I am thinking that i can either just use one bolt and loctite it in or i can try to drill another hole further back. Problem the the whole would need to be after the bend in the bracket but i can buy some washers or spacers of some kind and put in between. well thats about it. Will post pictures after I get my tools over here and work something out. I will stop by the Harley store and see what they say but i kinda wanna just do it myself unless they just have a bracket that will work thinking that's not very likely as the bracket in the picture is one from my stock lowrider seat. Okay here are the pictures.
this is where i would have to drill the hole, the bracket would need washers under it
The screwdriver is pointing towards the hole that right now I am unable to use.
Blue arrow points towards gap and red line is where im planning to cut it
This is a tag on the box still can't find much info on this seat.
Personally, I'd save the original bracket and fabricate a new one that won't require the washers. If you ever sell the Drifter, you may be thankful to have the original bracket.
So i got the bracket fixed and mounted that was pretty easy. But i just sat on the seat and seems that the seat dips about and inch maybe a little less when i set on it. I don't think the seat pan is touching all the way over top the battery. I mean the seat is on sturdy but wanted to see if that was a normal thing for the seat to move down a little. I read on another post (not sure where did a google search) They seemed to think the seat would stop moving after it broke in. I was thinking about putting some rubber grommets or spacers of some kind on the bottom of seat or maybe on the bike so that the seat pan touches. It seems like there is small gap above the battery box and the seat. (not explaining it very well but best i can). I mean the seat will work but wanted to seat what you guys thought. Remember the seat was originally for a wide glide.
