Question on Lil Indian Model 600 seat

Dr. Shop Teacher · Jan 6, 2017

Posting here to get the widest audience for a response. Manchester and I are going back and forth on the seat for my build-off bike. We think I have an extra cross brace on the bike that was probably added and the original is gone. We are trying to figure out the correct length for the Model 600 seat. I thought it was 12 inches, but looking at the below photo (borrowed from this site and cropped) and counting pleats, it appears to be 16 or so inches.

Expert input is needed and thanks!

My frame with the extra brace--note the center hole and not 2 side by side.

Not sure, but I did find some cool literature to share.

Pat, thanks for the info. I've been searching everywhere for the correct size.

I know Bill knows the answer to this. I'm just a rookie.

That would definitely help:thumbsup: I have a lot of different Lil Indian seat patterns but don't think I have that one. I mostly just need the length and with of the wood base. (I can figure out the kick-up on the seat). I have a Lil Indian Sabre seat pattern that looks exactly like that seat but the seat is 16" long and I know that's too long for the 600 model.

Here's a pic I found a while back....I think it was on one of minimatic's threads.
