rear seat mount

[MichaelH]

The used 99 RSV I recently purchased had a back seat with it, but it wasn't attached. I'm not sure that it is the right seat and I'm hoping someone can give me some insight about a) the seat and b) how to mount it. This one has a rear bracket on it, but it won't reach the back mounting bolt because there is a fender-attached bracket that is raised off the fender about an inch and it gets in the way of this particular bracket reaching the back bolt. Do I have the wrong bracket?

 

Does that make sense? I'm attaching photos of the seat and the back fender to help show the issue.

 

Thanks!

No, that is not the correct seat. Here is how it should look on the bottom. I found this one on the Pinwall site. He has a number of passenger seats for sale.

grrrr!

 

Thanks!

 

Now to figure out what kind of bike can use this seat so I can sell it on ebay.

It might be a Roadstar rear seat.

That looks like a seat off the rear of an royal star tour deluxe.

Yes, that looks right if I believe the items on ebay selling under that model. Thanks!
