Does any one have any info on this product http://www.bikersaddles.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=111.

I have been looking for a springer solo seat. My biggest issue has been where and how to relocate the Electronics under the seat. This product seems to eleiminate that need but I don't know if I like the look or the price. Any input?

dude that is alot of money...there are tons of threads on here about ECM relocation too! Here is what I did:

I put my ECM and Fuelpak on the side of my battery via zipties...then I ordered a solo seat from these guys www.rustyriders.net the seat came with springs, mount and bolts for only 30 bucks...then I drilled two holes into the top of my frame so the springs can be held down by two cotter pins and a bolt with several hole in it for the cotter pin(forgot name of it..its at Lowes)...then I bought a peice of sheetmetal from lowes and cut it to fit under my seat to cover the hole and a few wires...VOILA...total cost was about 50 bucks for everything!

That thing is ug-lee!
And $325?!
Pretty sure anyone with the slightest of metal working skills could fab up the base plate in an hour or so then you could find something to bolt to it to house the electrics. I used a Jack Daniels tobacco tin as an electrics box on my old Enfield bobber.
