52 G80s seat mounting

Post by Moto742 »

Hey all I'm stumped on how to mount the solo seat on my G80s. My seat and the mounting hole seemed to be quite far apart. Now is there a couple plates I'm missing or do I have to fashion something up. A picture of someones seat connected to the forward holes WITHOUT a tank on would be perfect for me to figure it out. If there's a part number for this part I'd like to know. Cheers

Do you have the correct saddle ? The AMC one has an extension on its nose. The springs sit vertically from the 2 mounts on the rear subframe (to give you a position) and the nose sits into the recess at the rear of the tank

The pattern seats around need a couple of straight plates attached to mount it to the hole in the frame rail. Mount the springs and tank to get an idea how long it should look and then measure the length you need.
