The electrics are bolted to the bottom of the seat. The seat is actually sat on 2 bars welded to the frame and 2 dummy springs attached. I didn't want it too springy.
We fabricated a small peice to cover the hole and had it powdercoated then bolted on.Looks good but in the winter i will take the fender off and get it filled, i might get a small bit of artwork done while it's off. Allin all i'm very pleased with the bike.

Re: Nightster Bars

I Like It, Looks Good.
Im Want To Change Mine Out From The Stock Seat, I Was Looking At The Brawler Seat.

But I Like What You Did With The Springer

I Was Thinking About Chopping The Fender 3" And Having The Cut Out Filled And Repaint The Fender, If I Do That I Think I Might Go With The Springer.

Looks Great... Good Job

Re: Nightster Bars

If you find anything out on this let me know. I was in an accident and my oem nightster bars are messed up. If anything let me know if you want to sell your oems.
thanks

Re: Nightster Bars

I have a friend who went with the HD mini apes, and it looks great. I have seen about a dozen set up like that. Google it, and I'm sure you'll find plenty image results.

Re: Nightster Bars

Dude,
Your ride is awesome! How hard was it to install your solo seat? I want to do the same to mine '08, but I'm stumped on where to put the ECM, and how to cover those holes, and that gully in the rear fender. Any insight on this would be helpful.
P.S.
I just read the posts before mine. ( OK, OK, I'm new to this forum stuff ), After reading, I now know how you did the seat. Kool. As far as handlebars, I'm going with Mini Apes from HD.
