I installed a /7 seat on my R65
I got it from MOTOWORKS
It does fit well after you do some bending and adjusting of the hinges
The quality is OK especially for the price
The reason I did this is
I need a backrest
So the next step is to build a rear rack to mount a top box that will double as a back rest
It also is about 35mm taller than the seat it replaced
But I don't know how it compares to the OEM seat because I have never had one

Motorworks here in the U.K have a rack for that very application.
For some reason I am unable to copy/paste the link for you, the rack is advertised on their home page.
Bike looks compact with a single seat, I like the look[ch128077]

I have not seen a rack on MoWo that fits the R65
I made my own this weekend
I also put about 150 miles on the new seat this weekend and I can already tell it is more comfortable than the after market seat that it replaced :)
I may not have to fool with my Airhawk cushion any more except for very long days in the saddle

here is a picture of the rear rack that MoWo sells
Mine mounts to the same places that theirs does
