This is Piney's Cycle Factory Bighorn below fitted with a Champion seat, the same as my own Cycle Factory Yamaha 360. I'm not sure that it's the correct seat for the frame as there's no rear subframe to support the rear section which is pretty obvious in the top left photo and on my bike. I'm fabricating a bracket to create a support arch bolted  between the top shock mounts. I've tried to fit the XR750 style seat made by Mick but it doesn't fit very well on that particular frame (but looks a treat on my Hindall). I've got a really ugly (IMHO) Redline/Shell style seat that fits the Cycle Factory frame much better than the Champion setup but I don't particularly like it.  It's probably a good idea for Piney to take his frame to Mick to see what fits out of the 8 different styles he makes. Micks work is superb by the way, better to support one of our own than some anonymous eBay vendor.

Thnx so much for your input guys
It actually does have an rear frame support if you look really close
In pix, it's just painted black.
Mick I bring frame,seat an tank up to yours.if that works for you
Usually up that way for trail ride
