I have a 1925 harley seat i could sell. I had it on my crossbones but am trying a different style this year. Im going up to work on my bike this weekend. I could maybe work a deal. I was gonna keep it, but pm me if your interested. If my new seat comes in this week i could let it go. I actually really liked it. Very comfy. Just trying a whole different look this yr.

This is still a work in progress, but here's a few pics of my modified
spring-seat frame cover for the pogo-style police seat. Used a hole-saw
to cut a hole for the center post. I cut off the boss on the cover where
it bolts to the frame near the tank. Then I used a 3" threaded stud for one
side of the pogo-mount. It is secured with a ny-lock and sticks up through
the cover. I'll put a large stainless fender washer on the frame cover, and
use another ny-lock on it to secure the cover. I'm going to fill the holes
near the oiltank and then have a thin piece of leather applied to the whole cover. Should look nice when its done...
Anyway, here's the pics....

Where did you buy this cover? Is that HD? Your mod looks good.

MotherRoadCustoms does sell just the frame covers - plain, no bolts
welded in or holes drilled. You'll just have to call them. I bought their
ECM cover and was just not impressed at all - $75 bucks for a thin piece
of plastic that didn't even cover the entire ECM so I didn't take a
chance on the frame cover..... Instead I ordered the Harley spring
solo seat installation kit. Wish I had asked this forum for just the
plastic ECM/frame cover part numbers so I wouldn't have to buy
the entire kit - dont need the springs/bolts/etc. The plastic covers
are like $40 ECM and $50 frame (or close to that). I'll post the
part numbers as soon as I go get my instructions sheet. Hopefully
it'll help someone else. Stay tuned.....
