That's my Savage. And I'm the same hoghunter!
SeegerCycle doesn't sell the seat anymore - due to the problems with the fit. It's the GTS Toba seat - I know that others (on Bert's ls650 site) have the GTS Cobra seat and I've never seen anything from them about it not fitting or problems with the design.
I did get it to fit but still have work to do on it as the glue I used didn't stay in the Florida heat. It's been an headache from the start. I ended up taking the seat completely apart and putting it back together. Added mounts so it doesn't use the designed front mount (using the same bolts that hold down the gas tank - this is where the flaw in the design is - the plate that is suppose to hold the seat down on the front scraps the heck out of the gas tank) but mounts to the side like the stock seat. I can't see any way to put side mounts on it without taking the seat apart. I had tried cutting down the rear mount (just a piece of thick hard plastic that slides into the rear mount like the stock passenger seat). Unfortunately, that still didn't work.
So, I got pissed, took the leather off, ripped the foam off, got down to the seat pan to figure it out. The seat pan is perfect if you don't have the plate on the front to mount to the gas tank. And the seat is fantastic - no soreness, doesn't make you slide forward. If they had just put on side mounts instead of the front, they would have a winner.
