Hi-
new owner of a 2005 800
came with dual seat, bags, rack, sisst bar.  really want to see that swoopy rear fender!

used solo seats are far and few between , and new are ~$400-500 corbin, stock etc
so until I find one, this is what I came up with-
Harbor Freight rolling motorcycle seat SKU 04435, not available online, store only.

It almost fits,(its a little too wide for the stock seat mount) so had to make an attachment bracket and a rear seat support bar.  Took a half day and about $ 10 worth of hardware.  made all parts in my home shop, a drill press and belt sander were handy.  The seat has 4 threaded holes in the seat pan.

see attached photos
