got the speedy love it to bits but now kids growing up and "er in doors" now wants to rekindle our times on the bike. had the speedy 1 year done over 4000 solo but not sure if it can take 2up.
9 year old daughter (new age biker) pestering me to go out on the bike just got her kitted out and fitted the sissybar and rack to speedy, no problem with that.
my problem is when "missis" wants to come out.
don,t like the look of the touring seat spoils the look of the speedy, maybe change to the america set up and re-upolster the pillion pad and when solo go for the single seat look
any advice?

best bet would be the america type set up, have it redone for comfort or go with the corbin stuff and save the speedy seat for when its all about looking good

thanks frank
will the america set up fit straight onto the speedy?
it seems to me there is a different way of attaching the pillion. with the speedy a 6 mm allen fixing and then a pullring to remove the seat. is this the same for the america set up?

no the america seat has 2 bolts which i am sure you can get fairly cheaply

If you're buying the America saddle & pad setup for the missus to do long trips on, you'd be well advised to get Triumph's "touring" pillion pad. It's wider and more "bum-shaped" than the standard one - I've had several pillions comment on how much of an improvement it is over the standard pad.
