Finished this project a little while ago... I decided I wanted a beefier setup for my Buddy Club rails so I fabbed up a set of these one-off seat brackets. I constructed them to my specifications to provide a non-adjustable single mount configuration to provide the perfect seating position and cleanest execution.

Started with flat stock and bent it in the press break...

Had some stainless steel mounting pucks made to my spec (inspired by Mugen's design) as well as conical washers.

I cut the shape using a cutoff wheel then fine tuned it with files and sandpaper ( I like to do things old school )

Had them powdercoated ...

Wanted to run a different belt configuration to work better with the bucket seat so I picked up a shorter buckle with no SRS unit. Then I fabbed a different mount for it to allow clearance for the new brackets.
