Title: Norton ES2 pillion seat
Post by: hendri on July 05, 2011, 07:12:57 AM

Hi, I am trying to find informantion regarding a pillion seat for a Norton ES2. I am unable to find the desired seat in South Africa and have decided to attempt to find diagrams so that I can have it manufactured by a engineering firm. The pillion seat in question is the model with springs witch is similar in design to the main seat of the Norton. This is where I can use some advice from you. If you have details or a diagram with measurements regarding such a seat, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hendri

Ebay and various UK bike shops etc all stock this item.
Is there no-one local that can supply one ? 
Having one made is likely to be more $$ than just importing one ? (if that is possible ?)

Burton Bike Bits in the UK have

And the Indian suppliers have these on ebay. With some useful measurements.

P.S. It is immediately obvious that the rider gets a better deal than the passenger with these style seats......
