Scoobes,
A quick look at Yamaha shows the '80 and '81 seems to be the same pan. I know the midnight is also the same as the special. You should be able to use either seat, the difference is in the cover design.
This is just what I was able to get from looking at the online parts catalog. You may want to triple check with someone else.

Hey there Scoobes, I have a Yamaha Accessory seat on my 81H. It's a double bucket that was for the Special. It's been on there for 25 yrs. now. The only problem is being for the Special the sides do more of a V causing the bottom of that V to rest on the chrome luggage frame. Gonna have it re-upolstered so gonna fix by cutting off the V making a somewhat straigher line on sides. The seats for both models fit cept for that and not being able to remove side covers without removing seat first. Hope that answers your questions.

I have the old seat off my G. Its not in very good shape. The cover is split, the pan has some surface rust and a couple of the barbs that hold the cover are broken.

If your interested let me know.
