What all is needed to convert back from a twin tail? My S1W is a twin tail and that seat is too narrow and I don't care for the look. is it just a seat and the plastic tail section or is their more to it?

Taillight bracket. Its extended for the twin. Pull out the spacer piece and mount the light to the subframe.

So,I'm going to have to track down the stock tail section and seat and remove a spacer. I'm going to have my work cut out for me on the seat but the rest is easy. Thanks for the information everyone.

its a direct replacement, short tail base for a single seat and a long one for the twin tail. my S1W started life ordered with a twin tail, I converted it as soon as I got it home. easy, nothing to it!, short tail support, short tail, short seat.
