I was wondering if anyone has experience fitting a seat from a 2011 S40 onto a 86 LS650? I looked into recovering my rather rough '86 seat,  replacing with a Corbin, etc. until I sat on a 2011 at the dealership. Wow, fit me like a glove & nice and firm. On an impulse, I ordered one immediately without considering what snags I might run into. I know the rear mount is different, which I'll have to bodge a solution, but is there anything else?
Thx guys.

I can't remember the post, but it wasn't to long ago,  Someone else just installed the newer 1 piece seat from the S40's onto a Savage and all that had to be done was to bend the little U shaped handle looking part down on the rear fender.  The 2 bolts that you use to mount the main seat from the older style line up with the newer 1 piece seat and that is plenty to hold the seat with no issues.  This is the same way the Corbin seats mount just the 2 center bolts and nothing else.

I've got a S/40 seat on a 96 Savage.    No Problem.  the side brackets and front are the same.   The back, I drilled a hole through the fender(watch for the two wires, put them back when your done) and put a 1/4 bolt through it with a locking nut on top , then a washer then the seat tab then another washer,+ nut to hold the seat on.   Easy as eating apple pie !
