Yes, but I need one in my hands for templates. Could I buy it or borrow it for a few weeks

Hmm, I have a 2006 PA and mine is different. That assumes that I'm looking at the rear of the seat in your photo.
If that matters, I'll take a photo in the morning.

Yes that is the st1300p. I have that one on my st1300p but I am converting it to a two seater so I need the other one so the rear seat holds down the front seat. Thanks for the pictures.

I want to keep it, as it's on my spare factory saddle. I'd be willing to ship it to you as long as you send it back when you're done PM me your address and I'll get it in it's way.

Let me know what the shipping costs are and I'll reimburse you. The cheapest shipping option is fine I'm not in a hurry. I'll keep it for a couple weeks and send it back too you if that's okay.

It's on the way. Consider my portion of the postage a donation to the ST community, as I think I've seen posts that Honda no longer sells this bracket.

I received your part and I'll be working on duplicates this week. Thanks

Ah, this is exactly what I was hoping to find, the dimensions of that civilian seat bracket. It doesn't seem to be available separately from the seat. I don't want to buy a new seat for the $3.99 part. Should be easy to create one, as you said. How did yours work? If you have the info, I just need to know:
1. the precise width (or is that length?) of the bar between the bracket arms
2. distance from the base of the bracket to the crossbar
3. do the bracket arms bend down at 90 degrees from the base, or is there an offset angle?

thanks, Alan

Forgot .. would also help to know the diameter of the crossbar, although that's not really important -- anything around 8mm ought to be fine.
Any info is greatly appreciated!

Hello.

Did this ever go anywhere? I’d be interested in one of these brackets.

I did build a few and gave them away. I didn't feel like they were good enough to sell. They are easy enough to make but I lost interest in producing them for sale. So few are needed for the conversion and I didn't feel that $50 apiece was appropriate and that's what I'd have to sell them to cover my time.
If I do get a chance I'll produce a couple more for our group members.

I’m pretty handy. Could likely make one myself. Looks pretty simple. I’d just need some dimensions and a few pictures. Or, maybe a loaner part to copy.
