Default '25 Solo Seat on Softail
Just sharing a picture of the '25 HD solo seat on my '13 FLS. Bike history... took it from FLS to a deluxe and then went for that "vintage" look.

Anyway... battery/ecm cover options werent so great... the one made for the cross bones doesnt fit right with FLSTN fender struts. Didnt like any other options i was seeing out there. Then thought, I had an HD scissor spring solo seat kit.... dremmeled out the spring mount holes to fit the barrel spring mount for the '25 seat... and it all came together pretty well.

So for anyone look around like i did.... at least on a deluxe rear fender... the scissor solo kit, the cross bones spring bracket, and a dremmel tool make it work and look pretty clean. Will try to get some detail shots up later.

Nice! I did a different twist - I went with the "pogo" version on my
Slim back in '13. No visible springs so it appears to float out over the
fender...

I've been toying with going all the way pogo. Yours looks great.

Here's a shot of the rest of the bike before the '25 seat.
