I'm going to try shortening up the sub frame and seat. So the tail piece is right at the back of the riders portion of the seat. Basically eliminating the passenger portion. For the turbo bike... Going to cut the sub frame of the parts bike to see if it's possible. I have three stock seats a Sargent's and 2 Corbin's for 3 bikes. So I'm going to cut a stock seat pan to see what I can do with that. Probably won't work but. I'm going to see.

I really like what you've done.(I'm not a red kinda guy either) I think the red seat looks good on the bike.

Check the files or mod section I think there is a write up there for shortening sub frame . I think it was T-Roy that did it on an 86.

there are pics in the gallery of it as well..

Thanks Mark. Just spent all the time since you posted trying to find it. I have no luck trying to search for stuff. But thanks anyway.

Yeah , I looked and did not find it either . The Guy who did it was TRoy  and I think it was done before feb 09 so it may be on the old yahoo website.

I did find the 86 fj1200 convertible post that shows the bike.
