Do the Speedmaster and the America share the same seat mounting? e.g., would it be a direct swap? Looking for a solo seat for my Speedmaster and was thinking that the America solo seat is the same.

True?????

The only thing you need to do is remove the "spike" on the fender wear the mid latch on the Speedy seat attaches. This will reveal an 8mm hole which is where you attach the solo seat. You'll need an M8 bolt for this.

Hey Brent-

Did the Easter bunny leave you lots of mints? :-D

By the way, I am loving my flame seat!

I have my old America seat on the speedy. The girl friend was glad to see the end of the wedgemaster. You will have to drill out the two rivits holding the mount on the rear fender .
