Dual seat indentification

Post by Pharisee »

Amongst the boxes of stuff I recently acquired as G3 basket case was this sprung dual seat. It doesn't look like any AJS / Matchless seat I've ever seen. Can anyone identify it, please?
Thanks
John

It's an aftermarket seat, maybe a Feridax. Seem very popular now. I had one on a sprunghub t100 once and I thought it was horrible, very squeeky!

Very similar to Vincent, but Vincent fanned out wider at the back. Had one like the seat pictured on a 1938 AJS when I brought it. It came off somewhere on the way home, leaving just the metal pan base. The owner had given me the old original sprung Saddle & Pillion.
