Thanks, I don't think it's really a requirement (at least for me) that the seat be able to go back to stock...I do like the low slung look but was thinking that might be an option that would appeal to folks that may want to switch back to stock for resale...who knows?

I understand...have known many folks (including myself) who made mods to their bike that they wanted to change back after a while....requiring more work to restore things back to stock a weld-on hardtail section comes to mind.

Yeah, plus my wife likes to ride sometimes (2-up)...and if I turned it into a solo she would be sad...one year on, one year off maybe...lol
Maybe fab some horns that you can bolt and unbolt depending on if you wanted to go back to stock or not...I have no idea I'm not a fabricator...

HMMM...the frame horns present a problem because they are in the way for the seat mounts.....the only way to keep the frame horns is to raise the rear of the seat which is what I think most folks don't want to do. I will acquire a solo seat and see what I can do.
That would be fantastic

A V-Star 950 seat is very easy to modify to fit the stock mounts (A little cutting & 3 easy to make brackets) & can often be found on the YMF Hock shop for $50 or less. My wife says it is much better than the oem Savage seat & I agree with her.

If you elongate the holes ever so slightly on the rectifier and finish tapping the holes that hold the rear fender on, you can bolt the rectifier right to the frame.
