Ironhead replacement seat

[sharkoilfield]

Bought two aftermarket seats on ebay so far; neither fit well. The last one was used, apparently off a 1974, and isn't even a close fit. The only new seats available are from Drag Specialties $$, and Le Pera $$$.  I'm looking for a close fit, no gap between seat and frame...any recommendations out there?

I guess not! I have a solo springer seat on mine, so lots of space between seat and frame. There are not a lot of options anymore for the Ironheads, and from what I've seen, nothing "cheap". Saddlemen have what looks like a nice seat if you have $400 USD laying around collecting dust. If you have a stock seat pan, perhaps have somebody re-foam and rec-over it?

Found a NOS Drag Specialties solo seat for my year on Ebay and bought it. I'm pretty confident this'll work. Cost more than the list price when it was available; guess it's a matter of how bad do I want it...

Year model matters... pre 1979 is Mucho different from later....

Finally found a decent OEM cobra seat on ebay...suits the bike to a T! Just need to sort out the mounting; according to parts book there's a pin on the frame lug...can anyone provide a shot of this setup stock? I have the front bracket on the seat underside. Thanks

Never got the solo seat; was just a drop-shipper listing and it was discontinued and out of stock. Found a new one in Europe but the price was waaay outta line... I have a good OEM seat and a POS aftermarket
