Yes you can do this with the "tractor" style seat, but the problem is
you need to use the correct frame cover kit. I'm thinking the one
shown for the scissors type spring seat will work with the coil springs,
but I'm not positive. If you use the kit for the 'bones, the ECM cover
wont fit correctly with the Slim's narrow rear fender.... So, do some
research, look on page 192 of the new '14 Parts & Accessory manual
for starters....

together. You need the coil-spring frame cover and the scissors spring
seat ECM cover. These are available separately if you have the part
numbers. Someone with the installation instructions should have these.
I can look part of them up for you since I used the scissors style kit for
my pogo-style '25 police seat (tractor) installation. I'll try to reply
back on this thread.

I'm kidding, good luck.Nameless took very good of me and hooked me up with a rear fender.
I'm sure if you hit him up he would give you any last minute suggestions.

Its actually chopped less severely than the one nameless has. I chose that location so I can still bolt on the pillion or a motherwell rack if I need to. Otherwise id have it even more severe! :-)
