Default Spring seat mounts

I've been going back & forth on whether I want a spring seat or just a regular solo seat for my 99 Fatboy. I'm leaning towards a spring seat, but I'm confused, (& it don't take much), as to how the front bracket on a spring seat would attach to the front seat tab on my bike. If someone could show me a pic, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Frank

Hey man,
They mostly do not, they either 'weld up' or attach to a kit cover.

I have the kit cover style , you get even more kits for 99 softail compared to the 2000+.

You can check my post here

Solo spring seat post.

And you can ask questions if you like, can't take photos for the next couple of weeks (bike is sleeping out of town LOL) but can add more after.

Regards

Thanks guys. I'm assuming that I would still be able to swap out seats from the spring to my regular seat, correct?

These suspension seats ride nice and have nice a bolt on/off bracket.
