Hi guys thinking of getting a bench seat for my street Twin to give me a little more height and comfort. I look at them on the Triumph site and they state doesn't work with grab bar or accessory fittings.. I have a rack on the back as I use a Givi box , I can't see why the seat shouldn't fit any ideas or should I get onto my local dealer? Any one able to clarify? Thanks
That does sound right because Triumph stated that my standard Street Cup seat would not work with a rack or grab rail and they are right, the underside fouls and the back of the seat won’t lock down in to place. This is why I have a Street Twin seat like yours. I know that doesn’t specifically answer your question but at least you know it is a thing. Cheers Geoff
Thanks for that I'll look out for another seat and get it recovered so that its higher and level with the passenger side.
The street twin seat has a slightly different base shape such that the seat isn't fouled by the fitting bolts of the rack. Some have got the bench seat to fit by simply trimming back a little of the plastic webbing on the underside. There are a few threads that cover it, though those that I've seen are over on triumphrat. There are likely some here too
Hello Eric, long time ago i know but how did the comfort seat search go? I am considering taking mine to Saddlecraft for a comfort rework. Have seen a German comfort seat for about £330 but no reviews for it. ps I also ride a 2017 Street twin which I am striving to make more tour friendly.
