I have seen several posts questioning mounting a Standard style seat on a Special and recently in this thread. https://www.xs650.com/threads/frame-differences.64644/
I thought that the question comes up often enough that I could put together a brief synopsis thread on the Red Bike. That thread goes 34 plus pages and is a testament to how helpful the members can be.

Let me start. I acquired an 81 Special II and had a loose vision. What can I do? I examined the frame prints from our very own Tech Section https://www.xs650.com/threads/xs650...workshop-manuals-and-other-information.30569/ and decided there was no meaning full difference in the seat loop and side cover area. .
