What kind of seat is that?  Is it lower that stock?

Hey Glenn.
Can we see a better picture of  that rack on back?
Thanks

Will try and upload one later. I think its just a C5 rack, my dealer had it in stock. It sits very low, only clears the fender in the middle by about 1/4" or less. Looks quite good that way and I like it,  but may be an issue if you are trying to use thick straps on something.

The seat is definitely lower by quite a bit.

The one pictured on m bike above is an unsprung seat (mounting off the shock brackets) for an iron bullet I ordered from Chawla in India.  It sits about 1/2" further back then it should but that actually lowers it even more once you take the front rubber off the frame mount.

The closest on the nfieldgear website is the "Classic Comfort Solo Seat" .

Just search for unsprung solo or trials seats, Hitchcocks have one, several Indian vendors have versions as well.

This is the Hitchcocks version (mounts differently to mine):



I do not think anyone makes a seat specifically for the B5. Indian 350/500 seats will be close for the B5 but be prepared for some minor mods to get an exact fit.
