Default Blackline RSD Fender Seat

Ok Gents, I need some advice.

I am getting a RSD tracker rear fender to put on my blackline and a 200mm rear to go with it. The question is seats.

I hate the look of the RSD options. I am thinking a La Pera Bare Bones or Silhouette. I know they have the new one for slims and blacklines, do you think with the new fatter RSD rear fender I should go with this one for the regular 150mm rear blackline OR get one for a fat boy/ 200 FXST and mod the fender hole to accomodate?

Thoughts?

Good luck getting any other seat to work. The fender on RSD kit has different angle than most so the seat back on a regular seat won't even come close to touching the fender. Please let me know if you find one.

You'll have to run a sprung seat or have one made.

I hated the RSD seat (Mustang) the way it fit against the tank. I searched the web and found "Bitchin Seats". If you search their website there are several pictures of their seats with the RSD fenders. The seat was not cheap, but fit and finish was perfect. At the time I ordered mine it took about two weeks to receive it.
