That looks fantastic! Job well done.
Curious how you did the seat mod? Was there a kit and was it difficult? My seat is killing me!

Well the seat is off a sportster I dunno what year I found it on Ebay for 25 bucks plus shipping. Then I looked it the TECH section and there are a few in there that have posted how they did it. I used alum. strips that I bent to make a bracket I then attached to the seat pan. was pretty simple. there was a void under the seat after i was done so I was at lowes and seen some alum. sheeting I got to make 2 panels for under the seat. Just kinda bent and shaped then rivited to the seat pan also worked out good.

beautiful bike. I like that seat much better than the other mod you had posted, although it did look quite comfy. I like the chrome trim on the bike. Where did you get it?

Do you still have the original seat? Mine is cracking in the vinyl.

Yes i still have the old seat. It is a S40 seat not a direct bolt on a savage. It is brand new only rode on about 2 days before i swapped it. I did my home work on these bikes before I bought it..lol had everything I felt needed changing over stock ready to go..
