Not sure if you can still get the single seat from Honda.  Last time I saw a price quoted for a new one i think it was about £300.  They are like hens teeth in the UK. Your best bet might be to keep you eye on the German Ebay site (They sold loads  in Germany). Could you get the seat base you have converted by one of the reupholsterers who sometimes advertise in the 'Classic bike' type magazines?

This is a full illustrated parts list for the GB500.  There was an online workshop manual but the link doesn't seem to work any more
