I've gotten an america seat for my speedmaster and would like some clarification on what parts I need to mount it. It looks like I will need an America specific plate to replace the plate with stud used on the speedmaster as well as a specific bolt that the rear seat can slip over. Also my front seat came with a bracket from a Corbin which I'm guessing is shorter than the stock America seat bracket. Does this sound correct? If so could someone recommend an someplace online where I could order these parts?
Not sure the difference between the corbin plate and the america plate, but I think all you need is a stepped bolt that holds the seat plate down and allows the pillion to slip over it. I got one from Brent...

The Corbin plate is too short and angled wrong to accept the pillion. The parts info I have from fiche-man does not show the mounting plate separate - only the seat. The Triumph bolt is p/n T3200170, however Brent may sell them as well.
I got the pillion seat on using a bolt from the hardware store, but it's not an ideal solution. My speedmaster had a plate for the stud that the seat attached to. Don't the americas have a similar plete?
