Seat to go with small export tank

Forums

Does anybody have any good information regarding the seats that go with the small slimline tanks on US market Atlas', ES2s, and, (dare i say it) Manxmans etc?

Were they simply longer at the front, carrying on in front of the clip for the rubber bushes, or did they also kick up a bit at the front to clear the tank strap? Do they continue to taper, or go forward parallel? Also exactly how much longer are they?, all the bikes I have seen still have a gap between the seat nose and the tank, albeit smaller than it would be with a standard seat.

I have made a few seat bases in my time but if anybody could provide a picture it would save on trial and error, thanks.
