Hello Rinus,You'll need a dual seat for a start and that could be a problem plus you also require some sort of seat hum/body work to keep the seat in place. Graham had kits to convert the bike but I'm not sure he has any left. A Classic seat recently sold on line fo a reasonable sum and would have fitted. I need to have my Classic seat recovered sometime, when I do I'll try to take a mould of the seat base and foam shouldn't be a problem to have made but I think the original foam was moulded onto the seat base like the Commander, I may not want to seperate it when I proceed with the re covering also it's not my my priority list so it won't be soon.Joe
