As far as spring mounted solo seats go, through whom did you all go through to get the mounting hardware, especially the front mount? I just got my solo saddle, but I am having a devil of a time figuring out how best to mount the seat to the frame in front. I have seen the west-eagle kit, but don't care for how they mount their springs nor do I want to spend $150. For the springs, I am more inclined to use one set of the frame mounting points of the fender support for the springs something like the "Hot Saki" cobra show bike...
The only mounts I have seen have been the kind that use a U-Bolt and strap the mount to the frame, but I would imagine our bikes would required a mount that utilizes the rear tank bolt.

Thanks
