The bike in this picture has a spring solo seat and it is a 1979 sporty. All I had to do it change the frame. Just kidding. If you bought the 30 dollar ebay special, you may have to ditch the bracket in the front and look for one that is the diameter of your frame. As far as the rear goes, you'll have to drill holes for your bolts to holt on the springs. If your backbone doesn't have a big decline, then you'll need larger springs so the center of the seat won't hit. If you don't have the frame geometry to do this, then you'll have to get some custom brackets made.

You'll either need to buy a mount/adapter:

or have one fabricated.
I could be more specific if you were, i.e., is the seat GOING on a 1979 (what model?), or do you want to mount a 1979 sprung seat on a (insert year and model here).

If it's the one that came off, it should go right on again.
If you're changing to it from a different seat, you will want some brackets to make it easy. Try jpcycle.com for mounting parts.
The parts for mine were discontinued(?) right after they first appeared in the catalog. I made my own, along with cutting, drilling and tapping the frame.

if it has the mounts just bolt it on it will line up, if not you gotta weld up some mounting tabs.

You should have bought Japanese. It always comes with a seat. And why change it and show individuality?
