Nice exhange? (Wittkop back seat-sozius<=>NZ 250 front seat)

Post by stalker » Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:08 pm

Hi Everyone,

I just want to ask you a question, since I can not determine whether I will get ripped off or not while getting an NZ 250 front seat for myself...

In exchange for the desired seat (since my bike is an 1939 NZ 250 the seat is not the IZH styled... it is rather an SB seat of some sort as the parts catalog says it...) I have to hand over my Wittkop back seat (Soziussattel), which I have no information about... does it worth more or less than the seat I want?

Best Regards and thanks for any help (which is much appreciated, since I am on the brink of getting this exchange done in order to get a working front seat for my bike... The desired seat looks like the one I need I do not know what should I look out for not to get into a bad deal though)

Hello!

I am quite familiar with the SB seats (250, 350 and 500) but would certainly not try to put them on an NZ 250. Regarding he value of your Wittkopf seat I have no idea.

Hi!

Thanks for the tip...

Here is the seat I want to get...who knows if it fits the SB or not I have no idea. (I just had a notion that the two bikes might share some similarities)

I hope that it is an NZ seat

Hello again,

Yes, this one looks more like an early NZ seat. I have one that looks very much the same (the frame that is) on my NZ 350 from 1938. If the hole pattern and the with of the base fit your frame (some 56 mm) it should be OK.

Best regards
