Brandon, I'll post some links to pics of what I did with mine this year. I use Google Photos and the images sometimes don't appear in posts but the links work. https://goo.gl/photos/qjbeVnXENMyKQUvk9
I took some 1" angle and welded it onto the frame to give me a flat mount point where I can run bolts through to secure my custom seat pan/rear hump. The angle raised the mount point of the seat that 1" and brought it closer to level and closer to the base of the tank. I have the hump integrated into the seat pan, which you wouldn't need, but you can follow the same concept. I then took a piece of 1/8" aluminum sheet from an old road sign I had laying around and cut it and bent it to shape. Padding is from an old Chevy pickup rear seat with additional material. I don't have any pics of the seat cushion as it is currently with a tailor friend who is sewing the cover together for me. I will be using pop rivets to hold the cover onto the aluminum base. The base has 2 bolts that run through the seat pan.
So the pan bolts onto the frame and the seat itself will bolt onto the pan.
I hope I explained it clearly... let me know if you have any questions.

I'm happy with the way my seat came out.... all aluminum cuz it's my preference and no welding cuz I don't weld.... yet. this seat is made of aluminum sharp corner channel (side rails) and 1/8"sheet for the pan and cowl. the seat foam was reshaped from the original foam and upholstered by a car guy next door. it mounts with a shaft up front that picks up where the original seat picked up and at the back I have some 1/4 turn fasteners for easy removal. if you are at all interested in more details I'm happy to share more about the seat construction.

Thanks. It still needs a lot of work. It will always be a work in progress. The rearsets are off a Busa. I had some custom brackets cut out of 1/2" aluminium stock and I used most of the factory peg mounts.

Too bad your so far away, I've got a set of tires that I'll probably never use that would work on that.
110x70x17 and 150x60x17....that front looks a bit worn for triple digit speeds...
I like the slightly burnt/well used patina of that bodywork...it's hard to copy that kinda look.
....without a leaking gas tank anyway.....

Something thats been bothering me the entire time is lack of factory bracketry, so ive dug out the rear i cut off and will be sectioning it and re-installing so it will truly be as if it were a factory single seat bike. I hope. Haha
