Title: Seat issue... Post by Doug on 02/12/12 at 01:02:58 Do I have to replace the fender of my 87' savage in order to fit a one piece long seat? Reason I ask is because someone is trying to give me one for dirt cheap and my original has seen better days.

Optionally you can drill a hole in the existing fender to bolt the rear tab on.   I found the one piece actually gives you maybe 1/2 to 1 inch more leg room becasue of the way the seat pan is.

Thanks a lot! That's good news all around, cause I'm kind of tall.  :)
