They're not hopeless though - the mounting is sensible and it might just be a matter of bending and cutting to suit. Someone here bought it from me and may have done better. The obvious alternative is a corbin seat and backrest which are wonderful but pricey.

The bad news - they dont yet offer Speedmaster or America rests, nor will they send one they think might be close. The good news - I'm going to send them a spare seat I have and they said they would probably like to develop rests for more Triumphs. (Let's hope so anyway) The brackets you see in these photos (click a bike's link) mount under the pillion seat. A sample installation It wouldn't hurt our chances at a Triumph line for as many of us here as possible to call them and show there is interest in Triumph rests.

Ground off the bottom half and the made a steel bracket that connects to the rear seat front clip. I had to modify the pillion a bit and the clip. It could still do with some fine tuning but I am happy with the result. I will be posting picks soon. A dog, a bike, a ute, Now in the deep south.. Newcastle. Cold winters, cold rain Come on summer
