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

My wife says it is much better than the oem Savage seat & I agree with her.
