Ok, what is the best seat for the R3T? I need to make sure my wife is comfortable. The Victory's and Harley's take care of this issue.

What's wrong with the stock seat?

For long distance riding, or over 50 miles for a passenger, the Triumph seats for the R3T just aren't comfortable.

I've posted my solutions to this issue (custom made seats) and I'm selling two of my very comfortable custom-made seats.

It all depends on what you consider comfortable. Everyone's different. Some like a soft cushy seat, others don't.

I prefer Corbin seats, I'm on my third. Others can't ride more than 100 miles on one before they have to climb off. Probably the seat considered most comfortable by the longer distance riders is the Russell. Expensive, ugly, and very well made.

If your talking the best this is the guy... Don't be disheartened that he's in Oregon. He asks for your seat pan, pictures of you on your bike and measurments without having to be there. He's already done quite a few custom Rocket seats. Don 541-791-5142

I agree. A hard Corbin seat works for me.

Check out the Russell Day Long seat. I think he is out of Florida.

FYI ..If you like the Russell Day long seat...ask about their group buy. You can save 20%.
