Is this an A10/A7 twin seat?
« on: 20.03. 2010 01:35 »
Hi,

This seat came as a spare twin seat when I purchased my bike. It has had a custom re-cover and does fit using the rear guard bracket also supplied, but is it a BSA seat?

Hi Darren, hard to tell from photos but shape of the pan looks more like a pre unit triumph to me
cheers   Bob.

G`day, if this works here are some photos of the seat that came with my `51 flash. I can post dimensions if you want.

Thanks to all,

I think I'll leave it in storage and stick with my saddle and pillion pad, personally I find the saddle more pleasing to the eye anyway.

If anybody is interested in the twin let me know.

 I like the look of the solo saddle with no pillion pad.

I don't disagree Terry, and if the bike is called the "Puzzle" by the prospective pillion one more time I think the pad will go the way of the twin seat...

Hey gold33 there's a reason I like the solo saddle with no pillion pad its so you dont have to take them. Freedom!!!!
