I too am looking to change my dual seat to a single seat on my 1952 16MS. For some reason, I can never view photobucket images posted on forums.

Has anyone experience of the new Indian seats? I don't have any fixings and they don't appear to come with them.

How did you get on Digby?

Paul, it's the same for everyone. Photobucket used to have a free photo hosting facility but this was fairly recently withdrawn. If the person who had a free account hasn't opted pay for the previously free service the photos are no longer accessible and just this 'Photo not found' message appears......

I believe that most of the saddles on the market (from U.K. dealers, eBay, Wassells, Autojumbles etc) are of Indian origin (many are produced specifically for the Indian made Enfield Bullet range) and care is needed to get the right size of saddle, the right type and the right length/orientation of springs and fittings. I think there are some threads on these forums if you try a search.

That explains it. Thanks Spriddler.
