I ran a 150 IRC Wildflare on the purple bike with a stock fender.I used button head bolts on the inside of the fender just in case.I think I had to move the fender slightly to get even spacing on both sides.The parts to mount the seat are all bolt on.The front mount is a mount to bolt onto a backbone,if you use just the top half it bolts right onto the stock rear tank mount.The seat bracket is a bolton piece,3" springs all available at your local aftermarket Harley parts dealer.The rear mount I made to bolt on the the threaded holes in the frame for the rear fender mount.1/4" steel,holes drilled to bolt to frame,and holes drilled with short 5/16" bolts and nuts to hold the springs.

I'm running IRC Wildflares, just like Demin. I used buttonhead allens for all the bolts inside the fender that I thought would cause an issue with the tire. I have not had any problems, and I did not need to move the rear fender any.
By the way, I'm not the smallest bear in the woods, I run my stock shocks on "3", and the rear tire is all good. I have been running the recommended air pressures that are on the belt guard.
Putting "Thumper" away after a fun afternoon ride in February here in Maryland!!!!

Facebite: What exact 150/90 tire did you get? Sluggo keeps saying the one he tried rubbed the swingarm.
Actually now that I've been riding it a while I can tell it is rubbing on the swing arm. I'm kinda ticked off since they're brand new Dunlop D 404 with less than 500 miles on them and I have to replace the rear now. Can I keep the 110/90 up front if I move to a smaller rear tire? If so what size rear tire should I try?
