Does anyone know if seat modifications are needed to fit this to a dr650?

If it is a DR650 one then lots of mods are needed.

There's an extra bracket that needs fabrication to mount one of these on later Dr's.

If you hunt around you can find a diagram with all the measurements on the net.

You need a good galvanic lucifer, you do.

You need a good galvanic lucifer, you do.

LED is today, something made of glass tubes and vessels, precious-metal electrical contacts, carbon electrodes and based on the electrolytic decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen is too primitive, besides the DR forks won't handle the weight.

Helmet mount then.

Have you read "Cryptonomicon"?

Very good description of one there

When he ventures back, he finds Ghnxh whittling an electrode from an ingot of pure carbon. The jar of aqua regia has been capped off now, and a variety of anodes, cathodes, and other working substances are suspended in it, held in place by clamps of hammered gold. Thick wires, in insulating sheathes of hand-knit asbestos, twist out of the jar and into the business end of the galvanick lucifer: a copper salad bowl whose mouth is closed off by a Fresnel lens like the ones on a lighthouse. When Ghnxh gets his carbon whittled to just the right size and shape, he fits it into a little hatch in the side of this bowl, and casually throws a Frankensteinian blade switch. A spark pops across the contacts like a firecracker.

For a moment, Waterhouse thinks that one wall of the building has collapsed, exposing them to the direct light of the sun. But Ghnxh has simply turned on the galvanick lucifer, which soon becomes about ten times brighter, as Ghnxh adjusts a bronze thumbscrew. Crushed with shame, Waterhouse puts his Navy flashlight back into its prissy little belt holster, and precedes Ghnxh out of the room, the galvanick lucifer casting a palpable warmth on the back of his neck.
