Need Help To ID A Seat Frame

junkyarddog sent me some shots of this seat frame. Any ideas on this one?

I may be completely off the mark, Cory, but this appears identical to the seat part of a passenger seat that a deceased friend had. It had only one footrest that was marked "FN", missing the other. Seemed to be designed to mount on the rear fender.

Thanks Lonnie! I threw it up on the forum as I don't know much about the tandem set-ups. I'll have to do some digging through the books and see what I can come up with. "FN" just might be a good clue!!

Cory, I sent you an e mail with some info plus pic's - don't know how to do it here. I have one very similar to that. Mines a tandem seat with springing - quite cool.

Cory--The seat is an FN Tandem, first appears in the 1918-19 HD accessory catalog. If I remember correctly, FN was a manufacturer from Belgium.

A friend of mine had an F-N tandem, just like this one, on his Henderson.
