Hi Ken, this is the correct seat . Look up in the tech section a post by azjay. He has made a clear description of the bracket to be made.

Nor riding at the moment but very happy with the Sprty seat

I to have just bought an 04 seat,
why  the bracket across the seat ? if you use the seats mountings surely you dont need this, as it is secured back and front, yes i know you have to butcher the back light a little, but it is the easier option, or am I missing the point and the bracket is so you don't mess the light about, is there any other ways using the bikes original rear seat mount. as I would like to be able to get this off pretty quick to get at things under the seat, when they break.

This is the one I bought.
Although it's not a perfit fit.
rocks like a teeter-toter.
I've opened up 2 areas that interfere with the frame and 2 other areas that interfere with the volt reg and now it sits pretty stable without brackets and I didn't have to move anything.
Next step is to form the brackets.  I should be able to find time over the next 2 weeks.
Got picts will pub when finished.

Mine teeters too. I tie-wrapped it on for a long test ride and it was steady enough once I got it cinched down. 150 miles and four hours later, I realized it was noticeably better than my modified stock seat but it still isn't "touring" ready. Maybe I'm expecting too much. Sure looks good on the Savage though!

the reasons for the center bracket are; 1) to pull the seat down to the frame, for full support when sitting on it, 2) for better appearance, 3) for extra security so it doesn't wiggle around while riding (it is only plastic). the tailight still requires some carving, and removal prior to removing the seat, the two extra screws on the saddle dont really seem to hinder access. i moved the regulator so the seat didn't sit on it. this worked for us, you can do it any way you want.
