Looking at buying a used seat for a good deal , would I be able to modify this mk3 seat 06.3677 to fit pre mk3 bikes. Will it fit with roadster tank and side panels? 🤔 Would a roadster seat be better?

Only you know your fab skills.

If you're asking, that tells me no.

How much is your time worth?

Yep they fit just fine
You'll need to make a plate to fit where hinge goes on a mk3
 
yeah if it's too much work/time than no lol.
It's a flat plate with 3 holes
One of them needs to be slotted
That's it
10-15 minutes with a hacksaw and a drill
It'll take longer to get a decent paint finish on it

Easy, just cut out a bracket and screw it on like we do for the Hepco and Becker luggage system when fitting to a MK3.

Andover Norton sells an adapter bracket to convert the MKIII seat to the earlier mounting style.
 
I purchased a (mk3?) Seat for my 76 roadster from norvil over 10 years ago I imagine now. It was too narrow and doesn't have the stepped mounting lug of the original. As "les?" assured me it was the correct one and I must have an Italian frame ?? it was obvious I was stuck with it ! Still have it somewhere. I'll photograph it and measure it if any one needs a cheap? Seat. After a dissartorous belt drive kit from same emporium I deal with rgm now. Never a poor part or problem ! Roy.
