    So trying to find some ideas for the 1050 Speed triple, found this on Google images and wondered if anybody knows of a company/ guy that could make such a thing?!

    I know right! Trying to find somewhere that could make/refurbish a speed seat to match this, but got a feeling it won't be cheap lol

    I do think it's a bit funny that bikes are right back in fashion. As a result you get high-performance road bikes like the Speedy being equipped with tyres that will utterly ruin the handling and safety of the machine.

    Fashion eh? Can't live with it - can't live without it !! Errrrrrr yes I can actually ;);)

    Oh absolutely, those tyres are completely unpractical on the speed triple. But even still, it does look rather nice.

    Had tyres similar to that on the Speedie used in the stunts for Mission Impossible II (only in some off-road shots though). Recommended viewing if you want a good laugh. :D

    My pal who paints bikes got a seat made for his bike, also a couple of my pals who have got Harleys got fancy seats made by him and they do look really good,i suppose the price will depend on how much detail you want on the seat,if it's just plain it will obviously be a lot cheaper
