Thanks for the pics.
I actually thought the seat was constructed a bit different. Not having seen one in the flesh for over 20yrs
My bike might be turning up before Christmas if the stars align so l won't commit to anything just yet.
If l feel the base is strong enough for what l want I'll let you know.
FYI l plan to remove the pillion foam, re-cut the vinyl to end 2/3the way back and manufacture a small flat rack which will bolt to the seat base if it's strong enough.
Not for heavy loads, just for small overnight bag and good looks.
I'd also have to cover the exposed seat base with something to tidy it up, maybe 1/2"foam and vinyl like the seat to keep the continuity of the seat look.
I actually thought of all that while l was typing this.
The underlying idea is that l can swap seats from stock to custom back and forth and not bolt anything to the frame.
