When we build
your seat, it is hand crafted and tailored to your individual likes and
needs. We pay special attention to detail.
Check out our section called
Customer's
Bikes with Our Seats to
see our seats on bikes like yours and to read some of our
customer's comments.

Whether you sit in the front or the back, your seat should
not bite you, make your back sore, nor make you shift
forward. Your personal space and width
should accommodate your size. The driver should be able to
be flat-footed. Driver's having a backrest should not
be cramped or not touching. Riders come in all
sizes. Bar Enterprises makes certain that our seats
accommodate the
driver and the passenger. When you arrive, you should
be relaxed and feeling good.

Alan's Honda
VTX 1300
The
following is
how Alan
mounted his
Deluxe Solo
to his Honda

Got the bike done this weekend just in time to enjoy some
gorgeous weather.
I put some instructions in the step by step for a Honda VTX
1300/1800.
Second email are some pix of the bike by Eagle Bay in Juneau,
AK. The glacier was too crowded with tourists. I'll get you a
picture with the glacier soon.
I hope you like these and will post to your site. Seat is GREAT
!!
Thanks.

Bare frame with rear tank bolt in place |
|
Put front mounting bracket through hole and slide nut up
underneath. It should take about 2-3 full turns to secure.
Make sure you start with the tube angled back. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
You have to file about 1/4" off the
mounting nut which is under the rear tank mount bolt hole. |
|
Rear Tank Mount Hole:
Original mounting nut is underneath the large hole and it is
welded on. It must be filed down for new nut to engage threads on
front bracket. It is a pain but necessary. |

I added the rest of the mounting kit (spring bracket) as the seat
rode too low the fender. I thought I had scraped the new paint
, but actually wore a small hole in the material on the bottom of
the seat. Very hard to see unless you know it's there.
So I added the rest of the mounting kit, so here is the alternate
way to mount, this one is preferred, and the new correct angle makes
the seat more comfortable.
Thanks again.

These two pictures show
before and after
Picture above is showing with back bracket in use
Picture above is showing without back bracket and
therefore body weight is able to compress springs far enough to mar the
fender. Therefore back bracket is necessary.

Thanks a lot for your details on how to mount and mounting problem encountered. I am sure that you have helped many who are considering or attempting to do what you have done.
Your bike looks great and your workmanship is very professional and clean.
