    I had been thinking about it for a fair while cos the standard seat is not good for long distances, and how the wife let me know!

    Any how I bit the bullet and got the slammer. First impressions are it feels very firm. Not a bad thing for A new seat, it will break in hopefully. A short trip this morning to the farm shop for a breakfeast felt fine and the misses never mentioned it apart from no grab strap so I'll take that as a positive.

    Roll on a better day for a longer test.

    Looks very tidy mate. Pity about no strap. A tip for you - if the bike lightens up coming out of corners it's a sure sign the missus has slipped off the back.

    Looks good. What indicators have you got and what are you using to attach the rear ones to the bike? I like the position

    They are black bullet indicators with smoked lenses from eBay and were about £12.
    They are attached to the mudguard under the seat with brackets like these.....

    i have the same brackets but mine are connected further back. Did you drill your rear mudguard to fit them?

    I did, the tabs that the actual indicator is mounted to goes between the mudguard and the frame rail so the indicator fits a little snugger, if there is such a word.

    Rico, could you post a pic of your bike? I might have seen you around lymington.

    There appears to be a few Bonnies in town.

    Yes mate, I am in Lymington. Though I've not been using the Triumph much recently because of the crappy weather and salty roads.

    My comuter scooter is having to deal with winter.
