I had a tracker in mind when I bought this. I picked up this solo seat for 50 bucks and started thinking again. I had already cut off the rear loop. I mada a plaster cast of the stock rear fender and pulled one out of fiberglass, trimmed out and then glassed in a panel to hold the tracker tail light i bought with the tracker seat. Welded the loop into position to mount the rear fender, and welded a bracket to bolt the seat to. I did a few more mods. Dunlop tires, Longer shocks and a 2/1 header with a Supertrapp muffler, and a few other details. This thing is a blast to ride. I think the tracker seat is a lot better looking, but this solo seat sure is more comfortable on my backside. Its for sale if your in the S. E. Virginia area.

I love the solo seat. Good job on the bike! It is nice and clean looking. Where did you pick the seat up from? Do you know what brand the seat is? That suoertrapp muffler gives it a Vmax type exhaust look.
