In case your wondering, I have 215.00 invested in the bike so it's not going to break the bank.  If you notice the seat pan has curled up slightly as the old seat cover contracted with age.  When I got it home I released the tension off the pan by removing the seat cover at the edges.  Hopefully the plastic pan will relax back to it's original shape.  If not, I'll form it to fit and use sheet metal to hold the shape where it's supposed to be, but leave enough room to staple the new cover on.  In the worst case, I'll buy another seat that is has better condition foam and pan.  Next step is to do the carbs.
