Ive been following you since I bought my Scout 60 bobber a year ago. I just watched this compilation of all your upgrades. I was happy to see you have the same seat on yours, the Jarod Mees. I love mine. I did a little more for the installation, I bought a seat mount for the back part of the seat, so it slides into the back mount (like on the scout) and then you fasten the front. It did require some careful measuring, drilling a hole in the rear fender and using a nut-sert, but I figured that part is always going to be covered even if I take the seat off in the future. Keep up the work, I love following your posts and upgrades.
