Title: Single seater Interstate Post by: alph on May 03, 2009, 09:45:28 AM I’ve got a ’99 Interstate and I would like to take off the trunk, buy a new seat, put on a new break light, and make it a single seater. Has anyone done this? I’ve been told that you can’t just buy a standard seat, it doesn’t match the fuel tank??? Is that true? My wife doesn’t like riding cycle so I figured that why have the extra seat if I’m by myself, also, it makes picking up those hot looking hitch hiker chicks you only see on TV a lot harder and that would save me from explaining it to my wife later…. well, i guess i don't have to bring them home?

Yep: (http://vrcc.photostash.com/vrcc_3785/slammer1.jpg) I used a Corbin "Rumble Seat". Works fine... Title: Re: Single seater Interstate Post by: alph on May 03, 2009, 10:00:04 AM EXCELLENT! THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!
thanks for the picture, looks great too! Title: Re: Single seater Interstate Post by: Bagger John - #3785 on May 03, 2009, 10:03:58 AM Check back in a few weeks. It's been made mo' blackerer - all the turn signal/taillight "chrome" was painted over the winter...smoked lenses and LEDs fitted...and the tank badges are gone. Will post more pix as soon as I take them.
BTW - used a Dakota Digital "hidden" powered antenna and mounted it to one of the fairing support struts. Works well. Title: Re: Single seater Interstate Post by: Jack B on May 03, 2009, 10:50:59 AM Ultimate will sell you a single seat for your I/S
When I put my Ultimate I/S seat on my Tourer there is about a one inch gap bewteen the seat & tank. On my Cobin seat which came with my I/S there are some washers on the front mount on the seat to make it fit.

This is a really old picture.
