What seat is this?

I need to order a new seat cover. I cant tell which one it is. I know its not a "C" and I am pretty sure its not a "K:, so that only leaves an "F". But for some reason it doesnt look like an F, and doesnt fit on my bike correctly. So either my bike is not an "F" or this seat is not an "F".
But I like the seat and I made it work

Is that a stock seat? It looks like you have a bracket running to the seat bolt, which makes me think it isn't a stock seat for this bike.

Doesn't look anything like my K seat.

I bought it off ebay and it was listed as an F. But yes you can see it doesn't mount up correctly, so I fabbed some brackets to make it work cause I like the feel and the look

That is not the seat, for that bike. I think it is, for a SOHC F model.
