Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Triumph's Speedmaster Touring Seat

I am just asking if anyone here may have one of these seats fitted to there bike and what are they like for rider and pillion and are they worth the money and are they a better seat than the one already fitted Speedmaster which after a hour or two of riding becomes a pain in the rear end or should I be looking at different seats all together cheers.

Corbin ! (i.m.o.)

I have the touring seat for the America and was a good investment-don't know if the Speedie is the same!

I've had the Triumph America, Speedmaster, and Touring seat. In my opinion, they pretty much all feel the same; not so great. I've ditched all 3 and prefer the Corbin as the most comfortable seat I've had on there. I don't think the Corbin is perfect and it pushes me too close to the tank, again...my opinion, but it still allows me to make longer runs.

Corbin cost a lot!! I hope to buy a Touring Seat!

I've got the Touring seat. I love it.

Mine cam with the touring seat, and I think it's superb.. but to be fair I've never ridden with the standard one.

I got the touring seat and added about 1" thick rubber foam type matte on top of the stock foam under the stock seat cover.

AFAIK, the driver's seat between the Gunfighter and Touring are the same. I didn't have my Gunfighter on long enough to take any long rides before I switched over to the Touring for Renee's comfort. She definitely prefers the Touring to the stock seat. For the pillion, the newer America pillion seat is supposed to be better than the older one and opinions vary between the newer America pillion versus the Touring for the passenger's comfort. FWIW, the Touring is a snit taller, so it may give the passenger a little more leg room.

I have a touring seat, only put it on for two-up rides.
My wife loves it, has no complaints with day-long rides.

I had a stock seat on my first 07 TBA and could ride around all day with no problem.

My second 07 TBA came with a stock seat but no pillion. The price of just a new pillion was more than what a BA.com member was selling his touring seat for. I also was looking at the touring seat, since it looks a little different. So I bought the BA.com member's touring seat and have found it very comfortable even for longer rides. I don't ride two-up so I can't say if a passenger will be comfortable but it is well padded.
