Seat Recommendation

During the time I had Bonnevilles the only seat that I found comfortable was the King and Queen seat.
They may be fugly but they are comfy!! I think you will have to go a long way and spend to get a similar level of comfort. But it's all about personal preference so what may be comfy to one will be a pain to others.

Best of luck with your quest!

 

You could have your factory one re-covered with extra padding added if you like the look. I had my Street Triple one done and it made a big difference.

 

No, I opted for a different one.

 

Have you considered getting a gel pad added under the existing cover? I've adapted two previous bikes this way, one of them a '17 T100, and they both went from 60 mins max to all day comfy. Much cheaper than a branded K&Q or similar and you keep the stock look.

 

I've found that a firm seat such as a broken-in Corbin is better for long distance riding. I've also found that wearing proper leather riding pants increases comfort for almost any seat.

 

I am using an Omegaracer Neo Tracker with gel inserts. Very good shop, the seat is very high quality but way too hard imho. Maybe I shouldn't have opted for the gel inserts.

 

I have an Omega Racer leather seat on my T100 and I love it. It has a layer of gel.

 

I don't know if they still do it, but one day many years ago I dropped in on their Hollister factory without warning and they made a seat for me right on the spot. They even fed me lunch at their little cafe and gave a tour of the factory. I met the lady that stitched it together and they had me test fit the padding to be sure it was right. I've bought several Corbin seats since then - there's one on my Speed Triple and another on my DRZ400.

 

What don't you like about the Triumph King and Queen seat? I have heard nothing but very good reviews on that seat.
