Does anyone think this would work?

What ever happened to this mount?...worked...revised...?
I know it's nearly a year later, but inquiring Suzi GS owners want to know....
Thinking about a twin tube in seat pan set up and adapting a saddleman or some kind of backrest to my recovered oem seat ....

Here's trial #1 after bending some aluminum stock I had into the right shape for a template. I took some semi-thick, (about 3/8 inch) metal flat stock, and started bending it into shape with my table vise. once done, I backed off the bolts going from my brackets and cargo bar, and slid the flat stock between the two, re-tightened them to sandwich the flat iron between them. Then I drilled the holes for the backrest pad, and ended up with something like this. (pardon the crudeness of my drawing, its not my best work)

This one works great It's clamped down between the trunk hardware and the cargo rack.
