Title: Seat bar
Post by: kartjockey on January 02, 2021, 07:50:45 PM

I noticed this long crossbar for the seat and wondered if someone had altered this bike.  But while sorting through all of my stuff today I came across one.  About 11" from hole to hole.  Could this support the Harley sized seat we have heard some Simplexes having?

Pete, those Harley seats are easy to find. They make reproduction seat pans, look on eBay.

I’ve been tempted to order one of these, only $76, comes from India.

I've got an original big harley style seat  on an early 40's simplex that came on the bike to begin with. Really comfy
