Hi David ,I have some photos of my  orriginal  slimline DL seat , Terry clip type fixing on a mobile phone ,PM me you mob number and I will find a  12 year old who  knows how to.

As far as I know, there was some differences depending on year. The early with two prongs and terry clips. Disengage when landing after a hump bridge. Later same prongs and a dzus fastener at the rear, bolted to the mudguard. If the later model, I can take some measures and photos.

I think the pan is the same for both type of fixing  ,certainly the foam shape is distinctive  and is often lost in the making of repros.  I can't  confirm that the clipped seat will be ejected  after a Hump bridge incident , I can confirm that the Dzus fixed seat may  stay on after such an occurance   even after the bike has  pretty well disintegrated  and a write off.after cartwheeling at 70mph.  Been there done that.

David,

I have a seat you can borrow. I'm in outer eastern Melbourne if that helps you.

regards Ian
