Single Seat on 500?

Post by JonnyP »

Has anyone ever fitted this '350 style' round-tail single seat (photo attached) to a 500? Obviously, you would need to remove the 500 tail piece. Mdina are advertising this type of seat with 'pin fitting' here:

If anyone has done this, I'd be grateful for a photo. Many thanks.

I have one fitted to my bike. You will have to make up attachment brackets for the rear lugs to sit in and sit on the screw knobs. The dowel rods/pins locate into another bracket. The brackets were then zinc plated.

Thanks Harry, please do you have any photos? I'd like to see what the seat looks like on your bike - have you kept the tail piece?
