Thanks for the kind comments.
I was out of town for the past week and just got back so nothing much has happened. I did have a chance to take some pics of the seat just "thrown" on the bike for no reason at all
Frame will need to be cut, fender dropped/moved before the seat can be mounted. I'll post more as I get them.
Cheers!

Started working on the fender mockup. Not sure if I like the trailer fender with it being flat but I decided to try it before cutting the OEM one. If I dont like it I will just remove it.
Next up: frame cutting and seat install
(Please Ignore my friend Juan in the pic...lol)
Cheers!

Quick update...Point of no return has been reached. Fender got painted last night so I worked on installing that. Then began work on fitting the new seat which required cutting into the frame. I partially cut, bent and re-welded the original fender/seat supports. Proceeded to "slant" cut them and grind them to allow the seat to sit flat and then reinforced them with internal welding to make them rigid. The new seat is almost in the bike. Now I just need to make a seat pan to cover the wiring etc and to allow it to mount up properly but decided to take some pics with the seat on the bike for amusement purposes.
Cheers!

Super nice job. I'm a bit jealous.

That seat looks rad, sits very nicely with the lines of the bike.

Update!
Finally bit down and started working on the seat pan. First a carboard template, then onto some sheet metal work. More pics to follow
Cheers!

More pics...seat mount brackets(will probably end up redoing these) and turn signal mounting. I sprayed the seat pan for now but will eventually have it professionally finished like the fender and side covers.

Finished!! (for now

Now need to do the front signals to match and wait for winter to finish the tank and other things I have on my list.

David,
You are very meticulous with your project, that is probably the best seat pan ever made for a Savage.
I am anxious to see the finished project.

I really like the problem solving. Start with cardboard, using a grid,
we could work together, that's how I do stuff.
