Nice seat!

Is that a little hook/bracket on the back?

For a toolkit?

or a mars bar :)

Has anyone got one of the bags/ pouch things that used to fit these seats with tags on the back   ???

Raleigh Shoppers used to ship with the toolkit.
Perhaps this seat wasn't destined for a BMX?

I still use my "bike spanner" from time to time.
Good for the big BB nut!

Taihei were making seats long before BMX took off.  I guess the tabs are just a reminder that these seats were originally intended for road bikes - just like Kashimax...

Stuff from the 1973 catalogue...
