Them Motobatt`s are Odyssey Chinese knock offs 
The Odyssey`s are made in the US & were originally developed for the military (so the blurb goes) they are very popular on Karts (no spill) any you can mount an AGM any way except inverted.

So its the the same seat on a 1VJ/3AJ then, the seat cover matches that tank perfect Geoff, side panels a bit off colour though.GeoffD wrote:Recognise the seat Mez? That was yours :-)
