I know that there will be some chop chop to be done to get this seat fitted. Nothing I have not done before to a bike. :o

The middle-generation R65s had nice glove boxes under the tail of the seat. There was a section of foam rubber on the tail section that closed off the opening when the seat was lowered.

I'm sure it could be incorporated. As I recall, it fastens to the fender, and rests on the side rails of the subframe.

Too bad about that fork brace keeping you from pulling your gaiters down further.
They need to be extended as far as possible, or they prevent you from getting full compression. (Duaneism)

Back to the Past with the 70s R100 seat fitted.
Cut the top off the rear guard.
De-tabbed some brackets off the frame.
Some tweaking to do still.
Tail light and rear blinkers are to be replaced.

This thread http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/i ... no.950080/ was a great help too.
