...To continue on the above, I found that if I matched the airbox holes of the fender to the airbox mounts, the rear portion of the seat would ride too far back on the fender-past the molded junction area-to fit properly where the seat meets the fender (seat would ride up on top of the fender, not resting in the molded area). In that case, I couldn't get a nice fit even if I drilled new holes for the rear subframe mounts. By reading other posts, it sounds like everybody is concentrating on making the pre-drilled airbox joles line up and drilling new rear holes to make the fender fit. Waiting on a new fender to try that route once again.....

Yup, that seat is a bear to get in place the first time.  I think someone once explained that you need to get your biggest buddy...holding his big dog...to sit on the seat while you install the seat bolts the first time.  After that first installation, the seat falls right into place just like it should.
