Anyone out there had any luck with a newer model solo seat graft onto an 88? I want to keep the OEM colour <blue - white> but want an SRAD or 2001 rear solo seat style. Anything would be better than stock. I'd bet there is a seat out there that mates to the tank and reab seat frame quite well. Any ideas?

This is my 3rd attempt to link a pic and it isn't working so here goes.

The SRAD tail is 4" shorter than the old school subframe. You can however put a 93-98 1100 solo tail on there no prob. Here is a pic of my friend Rick's 88 with a 96 1100 tail.

Rooks mahvelous. I assume your buddy Rick's bike is the blue one, right?
