Been looking at seats on Ebay lately and there are some really beautiful seats for our Enfields out there. This ones a "looker" Having said that, please excuse me while I go throw up! 


Who designs these things?? And who in their wrong mind would buy one?

It needs to be understood that the culture of India is different than the US.
The chopper craze is still going in India.

Also,  it is common for them to not waste things, so they do stuff like trying to re-use the seat pan for the project, cut it in half, and try to cobble it into something like we see here.

It's probably one of the more attractive seats that would normally be seen being hawked at a street corner gas station or roadside "mechanic" shop there.

It's only because of the wonders of the internet that any of that stuff would ever be seen over here. It's sort of like "folk art" of the chopper-esque variety.

That's the logical grown-up explanation....I just wonder if they have sold any in the states? or anywhere outside of their home market? I wouldn't think so but who knows

I can't wait to get one but I think I'd want a higher sissy bar in the back.   ERC

Definitely a higher sissy bar with a cargo shelf. 

Bare, there was nothing wrong with the '70s that time can't cure because memories are short.

And don't forget, a milk crate bungeed on there. Gotta have a milk crate!

It's not much different than a stock Thunderbird GT seat.

I had a bicycle in the 70's with a seat like that (truth be told:sissy bar a little higher)...and my friends laughed at me then. (My parents thought it was "cool".)

Cafeman - are you kidding?!?    Who would do such a thing?!?

[windhorserider]

OK, I'm drawing the line at the milk crate too.

Same here. Suddenly, your bike is homeless.....
