I knew I should have save the message to Tammi.
First thing to do is to remove the rear mounting tab from the V* seat.
Then I made a square cornered "U" shaped bracket that the legs fit between the stock seat mounts that are on the frame. You'll need to bend those tabs upwards into a close to vertical angle. Put the bracket "legs" between the tabs and drill a hole through each one so's you can put a bolt or something through it to hold it in place. I tapped mine with threads which have held fine and haven't vibrated out in over 5k miles
With the bracket bolted in place put a coating of construction glue on it and put your seat in place. The front tab goes under the tank pretty much like the stock seat does. Take a couple of your rachet tie-down straps and pull the seat down snug onto the glue and let it dry.
When the glue's dry, take everything off, turn it upide down, drill four or five holes for pop riviting the bracket to the seat and you're in business.
You will be sitting higher in the air 'cause the V* seat's a tich longer than the stock one and sits sort of half way up the front of the back seat. Give up the back seat or move the front-of-the-seat tab a little farther back to move the V* forward and thus lower.
Trial and error to find the height you want for the seat. I did three brackets in soft steel before I got what I ended up with. And there's a thread on here about mounting a Sportster seat (I believe) that uses a similar, but more with more glam, approach that should give more flexibility to seat altitude and placement. Plus he uses something called speed pins instead of bolts which should make seat removal MUCH easier on the knuckels. When I get a chance I'm planning on trying it out.
