I cut off the T, and just kept the rear part of the heavy steel
mounting plate. I bent a "U" of aluminum to bolt to the front of the
seat and go over the frame backbone tube. Then, I welded two studs to
the heavy plate to go through the holes in the stock seat mounts. Mine
does not overlap the bags.

I just picked up one of thoose Basket-Weave Harley Police Solos too (Thanks Ebay!), and was just this morning looking at how to fab up brackets to mount it. I noticed you kept the original T-bracket, which required mounting the seat a bit farther aft than I was thinking. I was planning on removing the T-bracket & making up mounts to interface with the original Guzzi mounting points. One of the reasons I wanted to do this is to leave as much room as possible for access to the saddlebags; the aft end of the Police Solo gets pretty wide, overlapping the tops of the bags. Was there some reason you discovered that may cause problems for me to do it that way, or did you try that & find it uncomfortable? I'm just over 6ft, 32" inseam, and about 215#. I would appreciate your input too, Greg. Thanks for your time, Joe in St Louis 850T-Powered Ambo "Junkyard" A-VAC wrote:
