Looking for Solo seat Recommendations on a 79' FLH 80
Hello Everyone,
Im currently building my first bike, its a 79' FLH-80 and I would like to opt for a solo seat instead of the stock fender mounted seat. I have looked online at various internet sites, but can't seem to find a good solo seat/ mounting hardware for said seat. Any recommendations for where to look would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks John, thats kind of what I was leaning towards from the internet consensus; do you happen to know if any modifications to the frame need to be done for the solo set up for more classic bikes like the 79' FLH? Thanks for the reply!
I had a Lapera on my 77 super glide and found a real nice Mustang on Ebay for a buck thirty... Nothing like a Mustang seat.... I know it's not an FL but Just giving you the idea of a better look and Feel... Mustang

we have put pogos in those frames and original seat pan, T bar and even a buddy seat with a couple - the open cross tube at the rear top of the frame is for the buddy helper spring kit that goes along the side of the seat < goggle pictures of buddy seats
police bikes all the way to 1985 < some odd police machines were made special in shovelhead configure - and all came with the pogo
a bottom bracket to hold the pogo stick in place is needed and a top bushing installed we have even put the grease fitting in as well - works looks very correct when done right both solo and buddy
Mustang wide solo is comfortable and looks good. I had an old style solo on it when the bike was blue. On long rides the seat would cut into my thighs. The tractor seat was mounted on a pogo, but had springs on the back.

I meant to say that the seat was NOT on a pogo. The pogo mount was solid to the frame but allowed the seat to pivot up and down in the back. 1980 FLH[/QUOTE]
