looks fantastic. Great job. Reminds me of my Brooks saddle I had installed on my SingleSpeed rigid bike. It'll get better aging!! so give it at least 6 months, when broken in it will be heaven. Enjoy

I have the exact same seat I am installing at this moment. I have the exact same questions you encountered so I'm finding you video most helpful. Thanks...your video is helping "backstop" my installation. Royal Enfield spare parts is really a solid aftermarket company, I've purchased a few things from them, very reasonably priced. My complaint....give me some damn installation instructions (even handwritten!..lol). Most of it is intuitive....but it would save me the time and uncertainty which you also encountered. Thanks again...very good quality video.

Such a great looking bike! Strong urge to get myself one. Very simple looking steel fabrication job to adapt those rear fixings, if you wanted to make the springs parallel and/or move the seat back/forward, to suit rider. This gives me hope, I am 6’4” myself and I notice some taller reviewers kinda scooting back onto the pillion seat to get comfy.

Hi Swap the bottom angle brackets left for right that will move bottom of spring to center more in line with top and I think it doesn’t sit on top of shock tower but slides to the inside of it and rests on the fender stay That will also get the springs down in the frame more and won’t look like it’s sitting so high in the back Just zoom in on the photos on the listing and you will see what I mean Thank you for the video ordered a black one for mine yesterday Seat came today To get springs straight I added spacer nuts to lengthen the spacer tubes to get proper alignment

Good idea. However I feel it needs some customization. The front mount looks like it should be lower to position the front of the seat lower. Then you would be able to source some shorter springs out of a “chopper” supplier to keep the seat level. Just a little too high for me. Good video. 😊

Great video, I was messaging ebay and about to rip them for not even including instructions. What i hate is how they advertised the seats on a bike sitting at an angle so you don't see how high the seat rest. I was able to get mine to sit a tad lower just by how tight i fastened the washers to the seat but is meant to sit that high so not to smash the rear fender.

I was looking for a springer seat for my 2022 Signals Edition in Desert Sand when I found your video about 3 months ago, but decided to test the "Sands of Time" and see if you still felt it's a "Keeper" by the end of summer? I read the reply from the Classic 500 owner who said his front seat bracket was lower than yours and I was thinking the lower bracket would look nice on the New Classic 350... drop the front extension bracket by an inch and likewise the the rear springs an inch shorter (and "softer" springs) so the entire seat was lowered an inch! I have the "fake" (non functioning) springs on my bike with the stock (brown) seat and love the looks but wish the springs were functional! (That'd be the best of both worlds!).... hummmm, wonder if it'd be possible to modify the stock seat by adding the two front studs to the plastic stock seat's base somehow and a short front bracket for attaching? Maybe a good winter project while my bike is hibernating all winter up here in N.E. Ohio?
