I think a lot of seat units could be made to fit - it just depends how brutal/creative you want to get with angle grinder, welder and GRP. Some of the DD racers have used jap trackday bodywork, and the sportclassic range have a neat retro seat unit. The MV rear is another option, but a bit to bulky for the slim profile of a monster IMO

A difficult area to get looking right is where the seat & tank meet, which is an awkward shape on the monster. PD's Kylie is a good example of the full on approach, but I've seen other rear ends that look good and take less effort. Unless you can decide what look your aiming for, it'll be difficult to give accurate advice.
