Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Triumph Touring Seat

I am after some information on the Triumph Touring Seat Part no. A9708142. My 07 Speedmaster has the stock seat which is Ok for solo riding, but the wife isn't happy with it. Are these touring seats any good? Any change in riders seat height? ( I am a shortarse ) All advice welcome.

My wife loved the seat when I got it. Very comfortable for her. The seat puts me more forward on the bike now. Hope that helps.

I have this seat and it's slighly better than stock seat for the rider. However, it's much better for the passenger. My wife it way more comfortable on this seat over the stock pillion.

I like it. Liked the stock Gunfighter too, though.

Definitely better for the pillion, and looks better too if you have a sissy bar/luggage rack - more natural.

I took off the Touring seat and put the Gunfighter back on just for comparison and really can't tell a difference. The are both better, for me, when I sit up closer to the tank. I use the rubber knee pads on the tank, too.

If I am alone, and want to use the rear pegs for a change in leg/foot position, then I slide back in the seat a bit. I think TRIUMPH did it's homework on these seats, and they probably can't be beat. If I can do 500-600 mile days and not wish for a new seat, I could not expect more from any other seat. Sit in a LAZY-BOY for 4-5 hours and your butt gets tired of that, too.


Picked mine up off our Classifieds here for $100. Keep your eyes open.

The touring seat moves you closer to the foot controls, perfect for a shortarse!
