This seat bolts on at the sides (like I wanted) but left the stock seat fender bolts exposed. Sollution? Take the back plate off stock seat and screw it down set the LePera on top:

That is a good looking seat on that bike. I have been looking at LePera's for awhile now. It will be my first choice. Thanks for posting.

Nice looking bike and really like the looks of the seat. Was wondering if it moved you back or forward any. Been wanting to put one on my deluxe but since I'm fairly short I wouldn't want to go back too much.

I'm actually wondering the same. I need a seat that moves me back. This seat looks like it would do that.

I bit the bullet and bought the Daytona Sport Solo. I really like the way this seat feels.
Very comfortable with good lower back support. The back support was good enough that I sold my Mustang Sport Touring with backrest.
