Taking the passenger seat out today, sheared off one of the bolts
It looks like its happened before since a previous owner seems to have bolts down a new strip of metal for which the front most bolt to screw down into.
I notice that there are a number of holes there, however the other two i could possibly use dont seem to be threaded. So whats my best course of action?

Winger,
On my 1098 there are two sets of bolt holes - to give the passenger seat some adjustment!.
Both sets are threaded (i.e. there's a bolt welded on underneath) so you can use either set of holes.
Best course of action -as above OR carefully drill down the old bolt using a small drill and use a suitable size stud extractor (after lots of penetrating oil) to wind it out. Having a set of stud extractors almost guarantees you'll never need them!

ps remember to gunge up the unused holes or youi'll have a water feature when it rains!
