I tried to search this but couldn’t find much.

Question: Is the seat of the xs1/2 narrower then that of a standard (76c)???

Based off what I can see via pics online it seems to be the case but I don’t have one to really do a comparison.

The bike I’m building needs a narrower seat to look right and I’m trying to avoid having to build a seat pan if I don’t have to.

mounting is no issue as I’ve no brackets at the moment (po chopped em off) so I’ll have to make em.

See photo below of a standard seat pan - I’m looking for less hips - a bit narrower and more parallel.

Yes an early seat will sit over a late frame, might need a little adjustment here n there. The hinges, latch different, and in different locations. See pics for the numbers.

Gary - thank you very much for those pics!!!

Golden!

Gonna get my hands on an early seat and run it.
 
Saw that, but don’t want the metal trim and it looks to have more rocker to it (not as flat) and no grab strap.
 
Hi Phil, what rear shock do you run on that machine?
