Be careful, there are two seats (and according fiberglass) versions existing, one with a more rounded part on the underside to fit the "fender"-type part of the fiberglass seat and one with a more angled section there. on the pic below, it is the area closer to the rear of the fibre-glas part, just before the "hole" where you can reach to the screws of the tail-light. It is there to make room for the tire under heavy load on the rear (bumps).
Have a fibre-glas seat (original, but in bad condition, needs fibreglas work and painting!) that I could sell but not the seat with padding.
The seats are different from the underside:
Top one is for the longer, more rectangular seat base, the lower one for the one with the shorter, just runded shaped seat base (like in the parts diagram above).

Every day’s a school day! Thanks Lothar, I didn’t know there were two versions.

I only came across this when I had an accident with my 1000 SFC where the fibreglas part broke and I needed a new one. OCT had replicas, but they were the wrong type. Great as they are though, they cut out the wrong section and laminated a new section to fit. Works since 20 years... ;-)

Well - I think it is a natural thing that a) you learn as you go and b) show me one bike they produced that they got right on the first attempt, please, and c) you don't produce 10 years stock at once, as actually THAT would have been not the biggest but maybe the final nail to their coffin... (not to mention that they wouldn't have enough cash to even order it...).
Wrong thread to discuss this, but I think there were several other nails already existing and rusting, as they were 10 - 20 years old when the final funeral happened (to stay in our picture)
(compared to a 10 Million investment into a 4-wheel car that never really took off or a 2 Million investment into a V6 as a "rolling laboratory" have been way bigger nails than a re-shaping of a seat base I'd say... or the lack of cost-control that hurt them hard when finally the japs got better with their frames and engines.... or..... But then - I know that you know that so you must be joking above; sorry for being to german and taking things always to serious
