S/A A10 /A7 seats
« on: 26.04. 2023 20:14 »
Just to satisfy my curiosity! I am aware of 3 different S/A seats. The early "narrow" seat same as B series, the later, deeper seat, 1960? on? That type of  seat but even deeper which seemed to have been export or US only? Are there other variations?

I have the narrow rear part one on my 58 super rocket and the broader rear part one on my 61 flash so there's 2 options.

also the option of single saddle primarily for police but I recall the 54 road rocket tested in the US had one fitted too

I am aware that there are 2 types of seat brackets on late A10s. Some are bolted to the side of the rear mudguard others have the bracket sitting on the top.

I assume the fixing points on the seat are different but not really sure.
