Has anyone fitted a single spring seat to their speedy if so what make & where from hopefully in uk Im trying to build a better picture of wot I want my speedy to look like & the persuade the mrs to let me spend the money.

Currently it will have eventually short tors or other pipes,sissy bar & rack for when taking pillions,ammals,air box removal & ai removal & replace with K & N cone filters & maybe a bigbore kit also hopefully a springer seat & a chopped front mudguard.
Will see but @ moment its std

Thanks Malc

I ran one temporarily while my stock seat was getting redone.
Don't remember the brand, but they're pretty generic.
Had to source springs & front mount separately.
The front mount was made for Harley (forget the years).
Had to fab the back mount.
I sold the whole setup to bonnybeemer (Michael) when I was done with it.
Don't know what he did with it.

Well done!
