Thanks for the reply DragonSlayer. I've got a DG seat on my Rocker-C and looks like I won't have a problem adapting the H-D Touring System Kit, but wanted to be sure.
Yes, as DragonSlayer08 already said, unless you go with the Heartland (where the fender is anchored to the frame via struts}, the fender still moves with the swingarm, so any seat or pad attached to the fender is going to have a rough ride, moving with the swingarm/fender.
WTF???....that is goin to be one crappy ride... not to mention marking the fender...
I was thinking it would fit when I posted that, but to make it fit I felt I would have to compromise the integrity of the seat mounts on the Danny Gray so I did not go that way. I also decided that I wanted to have the HD two-up seats done in custom leather at some point.
I believe BuckeyeBiker was saying that Rocker_Dan and I convinced him to go with the HD 2-up setup, not that I convinced him the Danny Gray would work with the HD set-up. Rocker_Dan brought that point up.
Rocker Dan found a way to make it work with his setup (post #5 in this thread also below):
just to clarify...mine is not a DG seat...its similar tho, I did have to grind the strut to make room for the seat tab then secured it with a longer bolt... I would assume it would be the same on a DG but please do your homework ...
Sorry, Rocker_Dan I did not mean to imply that you had a DG seat as you had previously stated that it was similar in post 5 in this thread.
Did you grind the top and bottom of the front struts so they would fit? Also did you also use a different passenger pillion seat than the stock HD?
wasnt you making any implication...just wanted to clarify in case people cant make it work on the DG seat
I only took some of around the inside inside of the front hole to accomodate the seat tab...I slowly took more till it sat flush with the rear which kinda slots in to the bolt hole...
The seat was a simple case of starting with a base with 4 threads put in it then I just run 4 bolts into the base of it to secure it using the existing holes of the struts... then just trimmed in leather
