Great find!
I don't have a SWB seat (well, I do, but SWMBO would nail me with one of the .45's in a heartbeat if I ever took any parts off of her baby ).
I wanted to mention that that bike looks very orignal, down to the old gold-patina air intake tubes. Be careful when cleaning them up -- the only ones available from BMW now are black. Light polishing with a dry cloth may be sufficient; you can go to a plastic polish if necessary, but test it on a hidden area first to verify it won't change the color.
BTDT with the frame-up resto of a toaster -- a bit frustrating at times, but overall a great project -- I'd do it again in a NY minute. Enjoy!
