A7 single jumped seat

[Atoll]

Thinking my restored none standard 1960 A7SS would benefit from a single humped seat as I will be the only rider no pillion. Anybody fit one if so what do you recon to  to and any recommendations?  Thinking something like this.

I went to the pub Attoll if my head isn't really screwed up somting not look right on your inner primary cover where it is anchored to the frame near the footrest, if it is anchored- fixed ?  I could be wrong I could be right can anyone else see what I see? is there a bolt in the hole and which side of the frame is it sitting?  -  I may be round the bend or maybe not

 Looks like the inner primary mounting ear is on wrong side of frame tab.

 Almost did that myself a couple days ago

I agree with Lee

I agree with Lee

Silly qustion: is that possible?
No, I don't mean agreeing with Lee!

One thing I like about having the full length seat is being able to slide back and lean over cafe style to reduce wind drag (even though I haven't cafe bars, pegs or pedals). Not sure the seat shown would allow that.

greybeard funnily enough it IS possible to do that but it sprains the case

Hmmm I am away till.Monday but will certainly look into it on my return. Thanks for the heads up.

as berger says yes it can be done, it is quite surprising just how much alloy cases can flex (and leak)

Should be doable I think. May need some modification to the rear seat to mudguard bracket?
Will give it a somewhat scrambler look

I will start a new thread in the engine forum about what I have found today.
