  • Early Persons seat

    Does anyone know which motorcycles used this Persons seat, though this one is a smaller version,it's for a bicycle.I'm sure it's quite early,1910-?.Also would love to get the stamp to remake the seat. IMG_1931.jpgIMG_1931.jpg

    Your saddle may be a "Persons Champion Motorcycle Saddle". What are the measurements? Could you post a photo of the top of the saddle?

        My "Persons Champion Motorcycle Saddle" is 14 1/2" front to back including the metal portion in the front and is 12 1/2" wide. The name "Persons Champion Motorcycle Saddle" is stamped in the top of the saddle. It also has the same cut outs on the top and the winged shield on both sides. My saddle is on a circa 1910 motorcycle.

              The Persons seat that you have is the shorter one, made for bicycle use. The Champion that is used on 1907-1909 motorcycles is about 14-3/8" long. Some of the manufacturers that used it were HD, Excelsior, and Thor. Probably others as well, but those three for sure.
