My advice, which please feel free to ignore, is to keep the rear frame that supports the seat. I know it is not standard and you say that you have parts to restore it to standard but try it first. I think that you will find it a lot more comfortable than the standard set up.

I agree with Norman 100%, I have had it explained to me why in concept it was a good idea to have the passenger portion of the seat bobbing up and down with the rear frame member, albeit at a reduced amount, but honestly, on a bumpy road I am sure the pillion passenger could suffer a real spinal injury, did any other bike have this arrangement?

My advice, which please feel free to ignore, is to keep the rear frame that supports the seat.

For sure you are right, in case that motorcycle will be used for longer trips.
