Solo Seat Help!

Would anyone know where I might be able to purchase a hairpin sprung solo seat like this in the picture? Or should I just start banging out a sheet of steel?
Thanks, Jon!!!!!

Thanks, I'll take a look. My problem is that when I crank my bobber out, I slide right of my LaRosa seat.

I'm thinking that lip on the seat of the bike I showed would stop the slipping!

I've had my eye on DGlide's seat source for a while.

Let us know if you take them for a run.

Depending on how your solo was made you probably could bend a bigger lip into it with a little muscle and a vise.

Badger, I toyed with the idea of bending it up but if it didn't work I'd ruin a good seat I could resell.

Devilglide, That's exactly what I'm looking for!!! Check these pans out:
