Hello, I am in need of photos or videos of what the seat latching mechanisms look like where they attach to the frame on a 1981 xs650. I also need pictures of the rear turn signal light mounts/brackets. I included a photo for reference as to the year and seat style.
I bought an '81 XS650 last year that had been absolutely butchered by someone trying to make a café racer out of it. The back of the frame was just sawzalled off unevenly. I've got the frame repaired and I'm trying to fabricate the mounting bracket/system that was originally there for the seat. I have the latch, but I can't find images anywhere online as far as what it actually looks like under the seat. My friend is interested in the bike and this is pretty much the last thing I need to finish so that its road worthy. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
