Seat pans

[yldbill]

I want to try and make a solo seat for my 08 Wide Glide. I've been trying to get as much information as possible . I would like to know where it is possible to get seat pans. Any source will help.

Here's a bunch of places to get pans and kits. http://www.google.com/search?q=motorcycle+seat+pan+kit&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

well the last bike I built had a battery issue, that being the battery was housed in the interior of the oil tank and stood proud of the frame by near an inch. I could not lower the oil tank as it sat almost right upon the starter so here is what worked for me, I took regular card board, covered the areas I needed to mold then applied foil tape , the kind used in home insulation. I waxed the areas I covered with the foil tape and began to built a fiberglass seatpan on top of it, it worked very very well, and cost me next to nothing, it fit the bike like a glove, as it was cast directly on the bike and the problem area.

I wrote an article on it and if you would like I can send it to you

all the best Bo

Thanks for all the info. If I decide to take on this project I'll try to get some pictures.
