i'm curious as to your plans with the seat...
what i'd really like to do is find a way to reaarange everything that's housed in there, battery, fuses, etc. and cut it about six inches off and create kind of a stubby one seater. create a new flat bracket for the tailight or something... not sure if that's possible cause i think it would be too tight a fit for the suspension compressor thingie..
anyways keep us posted! love that ****.. inspiration!
