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.

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

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..
