Bonneville T120 Owners With Bench Seat!

Surprised no one has chipped in on this!
Perhaps the bench seat isn't a popular mod?
Give Triumph / the local dealer a ring?

 

I too removed the grab rail, but left the u shaped piece in place and the seat does not click through all the way in and can be popped off. What did your dealer or triumph say?

 

Thanks. Is it attached to the rear shock? It looks like it on mine.

It would be good to leave that u piece on. From what I can see, the bolts in the back are what causes the bench seat not to fit all the way. I’m thinking of removing two of them, or even carving out the under side of the seat so that it would fit.

 

If I do mine...I’m getting triumph to do it!! What a chew on! Good luck..

 

So I did end up carving out the underside of the seat to allow room for those 4 bolts. I did it by making a transfer with wax paper and a pencil. I used the main lock pin and its 2 little bolts to align the wax paper. Then I put the paper on the seat, and marked out where the bolts are. Then I got carving with a very sharp utility knife. I went pretty close to the bottom of the seat surface, about 2mm close. The seat fits perfectly after that, and locks into place as expected.

Seems like a pretty easy thing for Triumph to account for when manufacturing these seats no?

Hope that helps someone else.

 

Lining up that pin and clicking the seat in hss been a nightmare for me. I'm going to have s look at those bolts and might just get to carving with the knife.
