Ebay in the US is the place to find one of them. They are the same on the A, B, C and D models.

i,ve laid up glass seat bases for the frontera and others , it is easy , with tank , rear guard , side covers , ect , place foam where u want clearance and lay some layers of glad wrap over the entire area , lay your light matting and resin , play around with the edge to get it how u want , use a photo of an origional , make some brackets , take the whole bike to the upholsterer , with your photo
