So far no one has hit the mark on what I am after. I thought that using the Rocker as an example would give a good indication of what I was after. Evidently I didn't do a good job of explaining what I hope to achieve.
To be honest, I'm not even sure where I got the idea for the look I'm going for. I could have sworn that it was an exile bike but after looking extensively I couldn't find an example. Scouring the net, the closest thing I could come across is something called a Pintail Seat from Rocket Bob in the UK.

It's close to the look I'm after. Think of this seat but a little "rounder". Imagine if this seat and a lePera Barebones for the Slim hooked up and had a baby.

Now imagine that there is a Shadetree swing arm mounted fender mounted behind it all. My guess is that no one out there is going to be running anything like what I am describing...?
Going over what I can find, I have a feeling that I will be making my own seat since I also want to incorporate a sort of back rail to it. Now if I can just get my hands on some decent metal...

No doubt!
For 1k I'd be expecting a matching set of tins with that seat! Then again I am constantly amazed by the threads I read on here and how much money some folks out there will sink into their motorcycles! So I guess there's a market for everything and you can't blame those who take advantage of it.
I myself am a used parts master! I scrounge scrape and re-purpose everything I can and turn my own wrenches. Which is why I will probably end up making my own seat for this project. In this case it's not just to save a buck. But from what I have been able to find, there is nothing out there that looks like what I am after.
