Default Seat troubles

I really need some help finding the right seat for my custom built bike I recently rebuilt from the ground up. The seast is the last of many hurdles and its just kicking my *** to put it plainly. The seat is great but the plastic pan is destroyed by the previous owner. I cannot seem to find out who manufactured the pan originally.....it is a solo seat covered by advanced custom canvas that is now out of buisiness as far as I can tell. The only numbers on the pan are 5577 which were moulded into the pan itself. I could be wrong but this would suggest to me that it was a mass produced item. Bike was built between 1994 to 1999. Any help would be appreciated. It is the bike in my profile image.

Thanks,
Doug

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. Assuming the frame is a softail, which is what it looks like, Mustang seats make one very similar to yours, called studded solo. Note the part number and take a look on Ebay, where you may find them at a decent discount price.
