Banana seat identification?

[Robert Troub]

Came off of a 1965 what I believe to be stingray deluxe?
Seat looks like it was maybe white?
Was this specific to any particular year or years?
Thanks for any info

I'm 99% sure the silver mylar was not offered in '65. Maybe a 1968 seat.

Fairly certain mylar introduced in '68

What does the bottom look like? Does it have the raised section under the seat post clamp? If so 1968

Does not have the raised section

1968 would sound right, there wasn't an original bolt or screw on this 1965, plus it did not have the older 65 style sissy bar....

I have a '68 replacement seat with out the hump. The color is Silverglow that seat was never white. This is a '68 only pan

Anyone have any background as to why they would add the hump??

I have read that it was to make a better connection to the seat clamp as some broke away from the pan. They must have figured it out because they did not continue with it after '68. There is actually a nut and bolt holding the pans together, perhaps they realized it was overkill.
