Over the last few months I have been getting a 71 750 Commando up and running. As I am nearing a running condition I was finally trying to mount the seat and tank and have ran into a problem. Please forgive me if this a frequently asked question but I have searched both the site and the manuals I have and didn't find the information I needed. It seems according to the 71 parts list I have a Roadster tank and I'm not sure what kind of seat. They meet up fine but the back of the seat sits 1 1/2"-2" above the fender in the back so when you sit too far back or have a passenger the front of the seat lifts. I just assumed I had the wrong seat so to solve the problem I purchased a seat online that looked to be an original roadster seat but when mounted it sit about a foot apart from the tank instead of being flush. My question is is there a part I am missing that the seat rest on or is it just not the correct seat?
