Going to fab up some new, more respectable "L" brackets this winter as well.. BMW used to sell these, but they NLA about four years ago

Here is a solo seat on my R90 cafe made from a BMW S seat cowl and a piece of aluminum for the base. Simple and clean.

i wish I could just pop my seat off....but then it would pop off as soon as I did some nasty off roading.
 Mine are much uglier that SOLO's....this is the 3rd set i've had on this year, so I don't really spend too much time making them pretty.

I did it the other way around, I welded some bolts facing up, using threaded knobs to hold down the seat/rack. That way if I lost a knob or it vibrated off during a ride, the seat would still be pinned and not slip off.

Here's mine ...
I started with a donated front half of a G/S seat, added some s/s framing ...  Added some more foam to the original ...  And sewed up a vinyl cover ...   It's very comfy and being lower means I can get both feet flat on the ground.

I built my brackets this afternoon - not quite done as I'm planning on using Dzus connectors to button down the seat. Need to do some measuring and get an order in but progress none the less. I had some 1/4" angle laying around so that's what I used. Heavy duty.
Fastened to bike with a pair of 6mm SS bolts.Once I get my Dzus, I'll drill out my brackets and finish fit by rounding corners and rattle can for rust stop. Thanks for your help and ideas. Some pics for fun: I love sparks, and yes, the propane tank is full.   Clamped for hole markings.  WD40 lube and cool during drilling.  Nearly done
