review, V-TWIN MFG Solo Seat Mount Kit
The VT No: 31-0942 includes an "integral frame cover" that doesn't particularly fit well and looks amateurish when placed on your bike.
I tried putting it on a 2003 Softail and it looks like putting a 2x large shirt on when you wear a medium. The forward end and the downward folds on the sides extend past the frame width .25 to .5 inch.
This pic gives a better idea of how bulky it looks when mounted, although this is a different part no.
This is especially apparent when compared to the previous model years frame cover had a much better tailored fit, like I was hoping for.
Also, a few of the included bolts weren't tapered like they should've been for the seat bracket, and the swivel bolt for the front of the bracket needs bushings.
I'm just going to make my own that fits with a more tailored look.
So, anyway, just more to think about before you waste $150 like I did.
