Hey Bubba:
BCB's seat mount and seat are terrific. You could probably devise a way on your own to mount just the seat, but BCB's bolt-on seat support is so slick I think it'd be hard to beat. Excellent also for hiding all the wiring, out of the weather.
The seat is leather, 12" plus wide, and has a pronounced 'dip' in the center to keep your rear firmly planted. I'm 200 lbs plus with a 30" inseam; the ergos with the Savage's mid controls and a slight reach to the drag bars are perfect for me.
A few summers back I built a hard-tail vee-twin bobber and installed a LePera "Small Solo" jockey seat. It looked great but didn't work: the slightest twist of the throttle and I was nearly flipped off the back of the seat! I upgraded to their "Large Solo," which was better, but still too slippery. The 'dip' in BCB's seat is invaluable.
