Anyone have any information on this seat or pics of the seat mounted on the bike? I have seen several for sale on ebay UK (i am in the states) but cannot find any info such as do i need to modify the frame in any way? Any information or pictures that you may have would be great.

Seat is just a basic GRP moulding.
You will have to make your own mounting frame/brackets, drill holes in it etc.
They are not a straight bolt on cosmetic addition.
Here's a pic of one of my 1000's with the 900 version fitted.

Rearsets are bitsa's made from odds 'n' ends on home made backplates .

Yes! they were sh*t but i was not suprised for £40.
The small toe pegs were just a nut and bolt with the rubbers shoved over the threads.
Would have stayed on for about a mile.
A blessing in disguise for me as i ended up making something much nicer out of them in the end.
