I saw this post a while back and was going to suggest that it would look funny if you didn't replace the fender but it looks like your on the right track. Once you cut that cross bracket out of there it allows a lot more room to work and relocate the 3 wire boxes.

I see that this thread hasn't been touched in a while, but I'm moving on to my seat modification, and would really like to see some install pics and how this seat works for you. Thanks, and hopefully I can see some stuff from ya!
