just my opinion but if you're going for the cafe-ish look, i've seen your type of seat' light set up sectioned and shortened, to make a bobbed seat pan. looks very cool.
i would love to see a pict of that, i have thought that would be a nice option, but I am in no rush. I like how the seat looks well enough now, and i like having the storage underneath.
here are a few shots of my seat inspiration.
the honda pict is from the forum, I think that its a member bike.
