How to make an easy-swap seat?

Hey guys, have a quick question. A long time ago I saw someone posted instructions on how to make a very quick swap for the SDR and standard seats. I've been looking for it here but I can't seem to find it, and I'm out at sea right now and the internet is pretty slow. I vaguely remember someone fabricated a new seat pan plus a universal tail light and swapping seats was as easy and switching them out and bolting on/off the respective body panels. Can someone post the link on here or point me in the right direction? Again I tried searching but my shop has 4 computers to share for 30ish people and whenever the internet is working its pretty slow. Thanks as always.

No I've seen that one, but thanks for looking. The post I saw was someone who had come up with a true quick swap for the seats, like 5-10 mins top if I remember correctly. I remember seeing that post when I purchased a standard SD seat but now I can't find it. I could always use the link you gave me to swap seats though, it would just take longer.

990. There isn't a simple swap over. Not really. The single seat / SDR unit requires a totally different tray under the seat. There's a few people who have devised a way to swap from two to one riding but it not easy or simple.

Sorry but there isn't a good answer to your question.

There was a guy who was working on a quick swap, but I have not seen any of his post as of late. He went by Evilwork or some thing close. His avatar was the guy in a straight jacket. The guy is in Mexico. He hit a cow at night and was rebuilding his SD.
Anyway he was remaking the seat pan to accommodate both seats. He had photos of what he was doing. I was cheering him on, but we never saw the finished deal.
I searched a bit, but no cigar. Hopefully others might find his post, because he was on to something, tho looked a little rough.

one shows him making an under tray for the mod, but can't find the actual how to.

Evilwerkz hasn't been on since October either.
