General Discussion / Re: A REAL Solo Saddle for the (Current) V7

I've been looking for that V7 Alce solo seat and rack combination ever since I saw those promotional images. I saw this post while browsing yesterday and decided I'd revisit modifying my old stock seat like the OP. I replaced my standard bench back in 2017 with the anniversario brown one, so the old seat has just been sitting in my garage ever since.
Here's where I'm at with mine:
I think I'm going to attach my rack to the 4 threaded holes that are mysteriously available in the seat pan. I'll probably cut a little bit of the seat pan plastic near the bottom of the pan and add a grab rail around the back that attaches to the frame ends to finish off the design and provide a little more strength.
Something like this:
Thanks for the inspiration!
