On the right side of the steering neck it is stamped into the metal.

Here is a search I did on there double bucket seat, which comes both as a foam and cover kit for standards and specials and as a complete seat as well for specials.

Hi Cy, Jim,
FWIW, I put a Saddlemen double bucket foam and cover on my XS650 Special's spare seat pan.
Excellent product, went on easy, stood up fine and looked good.
But.
The bucket style seat configuration won't let you slide back and forward at all, where you sit is where you sit.
And while my wife's elegant girlish stern comfortably fit into the pillion bucket, my own fat arse was jammed into the front bucket like a cork in a bottle.

Looking at the photos on face book-which i have an account-you have an SG.

What about other models?

So it sounds like very little swapability between the 11's, but what about between an 850 and 11, or 750 and 11? Does anyone know if those might swap?

May be a Frankenbike. Has SH rear shocks and SH grab bar. Looks like an SG engine and side covers, although the alt and timing cover may have been changed. For that matter, the whole engine may have been changed. Do the frame & engine #'s match?

Hi DaVinci,
shocks & grabrail look just like the ones on my SG?
What strikes me is the seat don't look right. Looks like it's not hooked in at the front, just put there.
And no, other XS model seats won't even be close. Apart from not being the same shape XS750/850 seats hinge up instead of lift off and XS650 lift off seats are of a different & superior design.
