Looks ok to me with metal base. Any experience out there  with this product?

TrickyMicky:
Have you looked at Silvers site, also selling repro seat with metal base, about £83. I have no first hand knowledge of the product though.

Laverda Dave:
The DSS seat is very good quality. The only problem I had with mine (and other have) is the rubber bumper on the underside of the seat is too high and stops the seat closing properly. I cut 15mm off mine, a five minute job.
By a Honda stencil from Piki and job done.

I've got one of them too, same issue with needing to trim the rubber too, but maybe it's because I got it a bit wrong I'm on seat two now because after about 18 months or so a split developed in the contact area with the tank ...see image. That metal brace that became exposed had left it's signature on my tank a little also, I've since repaired it with leather repair patches bought on ebay, like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6pcs-DIY-Leather-Repair-Patch-Kit-for-Car-Seat-Filler-Furnitures-Couch-Sofa-UK/233765738171?hash=item366d8616bb:g:sIwAAOSwcwlfn2x2 and also put some over that metal tongue. Some of the underside rivets were a bit rusty too, my bike does live outside though. Otherwise I'm happy enough with them.
