Two up; down the well-trodden...
...as well as the not-so-well-trodden.
And it still looks the business, once home and cleaned up.

Speaking of bobbers, here's my 1970 Moto Guzzi Ambassador
When I bought her, she looked like this:
It was a fun project. It was really just an exercise in removing the superfluous. I kept the sidecar, which I refurbished, for a while, but hated riding with it. I hate that I removed the center stand. Bad decision.

I love the farmer saddle with springs.
May be it could fit on the R18

There was a photo...
there it is! Looks like you make a platform to fit the configuration of attachment points on the R18 and, on the top side, you affix whatever spring saddle you want.
I prefer the Guzzi one, it is wider
That saddle (from when I originally bought the bike) was a generic "tractor" saddle. It was frankensteined onto the frame with a bent metal bracket and springs that, if you pivoted the seat upward, would fall off. It wasn't ideal. The shape, however, is classic.

/if you're looking, there's lots and lots of aftermarket options for that shape.

Thanks, I know there are aftermarket options, but I'm concerned about mounting adaptation on the R18

New seat
Hi, I am Bruce Stark here in Van Nuys, CA. I got my R18 last week but I can't ride it. I am 6'3" tall and I can not reach the rear brake, or up-shift the shifter arm and I cannot manipulate the kick-stand. All is not lost because if I sit about 6 to 8-inches higher, all is ok. I am posting...

looks comfortable
indeed it looks comfortable, but the installation is rather basic, not clean enough for the R18 I think

Even one's ankles will be in for a rough ride with this seating position, evidenced by viewing this video with the sound off; The new Concept R 18 roars into life - YouTube. Probably tolerable for the length of a photoshoot only (-: Sexy but vicious.
and ass hurt guaranteed while sitting on the nose of the saddle
Ass, or more....
