Does anyone know how far apart the seat hinges are on a STANDARD xs650 frame?

Also, for point of reference, can you tell me how far forward from the frame cross bar the front hinge is? Likewise, how far behind the frame crossbar is the rear hinge?

In other words, I'm in need of 3 mesurements:

1) disntance between seat hinges on STANDARD frame
2) distance between back of FRONT hinge and front of frame corss bar
3) distance between front of REAR hinge and back of frame cross bar

Note: Im calling the 'frame cross bar' the piece of the frame that runs perpendicular to the bike under the seat, that is behind the battery. This 'cross bar' connects one side of the frame to the other at the top.

I would really appreciate it if someone could take these measurements for me.

Thanks!!!

Was out in the garage anyways, here are some pics (BTW mine is a 77 standard):

1) 5.5 inches
2) looks to be 2 inches
3) not sure which you are referring to as the rear of the cross brace, it is curved, but the front of the rear hinge to the front of the cross brace is 3.5 inches.

The pics should answer any assumptions. Funny how all the measurements came out Imperial on a Metric bike............
