V Twin Mfg Solo Spring Seat mounting Kit 31-4045 82-03 Harley Sportster

The seat springs are 7 to 7 1/2 inches apart (most solo seats have mounting studs 6" apart). V Twin supply an adaptor plate but to me it's crappy(only bad part of the kit).
So I went looking for a solo seat that would look good on a sportster frame.
I found a great range of solo seats by Will Crow of SBC, ebay user name awol_cool
His seats are great, and can be customized to your taste.
