Default Modifying stock seat?

I have an 07' Deluxe and what to use my stock seat for a Solo Spring Seat setup. In order to do this, I need inserts so I can attach brackets.

Does anyone know how to go about installing nut inserts into my stock seat pan?

Give BadX here on the forum a shout, he might be able to help out. He runs Mean City Cycles that does seat customizing.

well that's funny because I just got my seat back from them last month to reshape and fit with memory foam. I should have mentioned it to him then but wasn;t sure if I wanted to go with the Spring seat then. but, I'll give him a shout anyways... thankx
