Picked up new thruxton

Hi wCrispey and Dougie and all, sorry I have been out the loop for a while, been a mad few weeks. Picked up the new bike, if you remember I was getting thruxton R . And " SHE FITS "
That is the wife on the back, to a huge sye of relief. Dual seat works, might be a problem if you have size 12 feet but me mr average 9 works. I think Triumph need to look up the meaning of " comfort " in the title of dual comfort seat, but will be addressing that issue to re model the seat locally, with gel etc. Covered the grand total of 15 miles to get bike home and then into hospital Thursday morning for hernia opp, can,t now ride for around three weeks.
Just as a separate thought of dealership power traded Jess in, had her up for sale for six weeks without even a phone call. Went into delership yesterday to pick up exhaust and single seat etc. Thought I would see how much they were selling her for!!!!!, gone already sold. Not bad 3 day turn around.

 

Yes pics will come, bike in man cave and unable to move it cos of opp, cant stand back far enough to get all of bike in. Will get the ones when i collected posted.

No worries

 

Yep biglad thats the other half married for 29 years and she is the best, cant be bad when she goes from a K&Q seat to the thruxton seat and she still wants to hit the road. Simple the best girl ever.

 

Actually the single seat is swaped over so quickly if iam on my todd i will just do that.

 

Hi Klunk
Yes you will find the seat on the thruxton configorater. It is described as a dual comfort seat. Comfort its not, already spoken to triumph on that point. My other half said it felt like she was continally feeling like she was falling off the back. It is with auto trim being re modelled at the moment, will post some pictures once I have it back. Not sure if any of the street twin seats fit, might be worth asking dealership if you can swap some around. Let us know if you have any joy on that.
What I can tell you is you can not get a grab rail, although when I did the deal on mine it was shown on the extras and I brought one, then it was removed and I found out yesterday that they are not doing one, so I will be taking that up with triumph as soon as I can.
They should not show it available if its not, I went for the thruxton as I thought I could make it suit my needs, they even have threaded bolt holes under the seat which can only be to take a grab rail.will update when I have further info.

 

Ok it will be interesting to see what they say.
