Thanks for that Sven, the rigid one looks like a painful ride After looking closely at pictures of bikes from the same contract as mine (C11082), my bike should have the springs at the front. I must admit I thought they were Triumph pillion seats when I've seen them for sale. Even looking at war time pictures you can't tell how much of the bike is correct and hasn't been rebuilt, as the forum pictures proves. Thanks for showing these Sven
