Sorry the seat pictured here is a Brooks not Lepper next is the Lepper it has four springs on the upper level

you going to make an appearance at willow this Saturday???

would be nice to meet you --- bring a few of your beauties
 
If there are ever two motorcycles that have contributed more to the modern day motorcycle it would have to be the Indian/Hendee Co. and the Merkel/Miami cycle Co. and I Love Em Both now Excelsior/Schwinn was one to be reckoned with as well,

Thanks! for sharing that info Mr. B
 
Couple of pic's to add to the inspiration
