    My spouse decided to return to riding pillion after I purchased my single seat Thruxton. Further wallet emptying required to purchase the dual seat. It slots on similarly to the original. Rear pegs took 10 minutes after I had dropped the ball bearings a few times.
    Easy job even for a spanner imbecile like me.
    After a test ride, I declare it a comfortable improvement but an aesthetic backwards step. I just hope she now chooses to climb aboard or the dual seat will be for sale here soon!

    I’ve got a dual seat on my Thruxton S and find it v comfortable and like the look but I don’t have the fairing on mine. Either way it’s a great looking bike!

    I am sure she will. That way she can keep her eye on you and have as much fun as you.

    If the Mrs doesn't make use of it don't worry, you now have a place to strap down some luggage and head of on an adventure. I'd call that a win win :p

    Very late reply to this thread, but during some google research into Thruxton Luggage solutions, the SW motech setup that you have came into consideration. As i noticed you have it installed on your bike, can i ask, how does the rail mounting bracket fix under the seat. I essentially want to use it, but with the single seat cowl, and as i have fitted an aftermarket brake light strip under the seat, wondering if it will still be compatible or not . Any advice would be appreciated.
