It would seem odd to put pillion pegs on a bike with a solo seat.


The P11s (those '67 models produced in the serial range P11/121007--P11/123012) came with solo seats and the crossover loop brazed to the frame behind the seat, the loop had mounting tabs for the rear mudguard at the back and pins at the front. The rear of the fiberglass pan seat fit on to those pins and had a tongue at the front that slipped under the fuel tank.


P11As (those '68 models produced between P11/124372--P11/126123) came with dual seats and pillion pegs. The rear of the longer, wider fiberglass pan seat had two studs that fit though holes in the crossover piece, now made out of flat stock and welded to the frame extension loop, and a similar tongue at the front that fit under the fuel tank. The pillion footrests were similar to those used on the Atlas or Matchless G80CS


Rangers (P11/128646--P11/129145) used the same metal seat pan used on late G15/N15 bikes, with a different mounting system again. Rear mounts were a pair of brackets bolted to the seat pan and held to the bike with the upper shock mounts. The front of the seat had a receiver on the bottom of the pan that slipped on to a pin brazed to the frame just behind the fuel tank. The pillion footrests were the same as the Commando with about a 1-1/4" extension welded on the end.
