New Old Sportster SeatI've searched high and low for an original factory seat for my 1975 Ironhead.Finally found one to replace my current solo saddle. There were three seats available, a hi-Lo in black, a Hi-Lo in brown, a low seat in black (which is the most copied one) and a King/Queen seat (I have one), mine new one is the Hi-Lo in black.
This seat is in almost perfect condition for a 38 year old specimen
It is missing the front bracket to attach it to the bike, but www.OldDude.com had all
the original H-D parts I need to finally get it mounted. All & all this is costing just at
$100. For some reason I've decided to put my old Ironhead back to almost original
condition. Aside from the fuel tank it's running, the hope is to get it back to the way it
was when new.
Still looking for original exhaust system but really want the optional exhaust
offered. A windshield was found with all the hardware but the seller backed out
deciding to keep it. The next elusive part on the list is the center stand.
As it is, the parts for the seat should be here Monday. Keeping fingers crossed.
Sure hope this new seat is kinder to my butt bone than the solo has been.
