...and so said the wife

Left myself wide open for that one.

Then I went back and read my post. And how important is it make sure you put in all the words.

Backrest folds down forward..I have one.

Which is fine getting on - But off, not so much. Every time I do a long trip I have an extra bag on the rear seat for the "stuff I'll need on the ferry". So my foot hits that before the backrest.

I look like a guy with an artificial right leg getting on and off. I refuse to trust the sidestand. I suspect it may be made of leftovers of gearbox cheese. Partly the restriction in mobility is the leathers. But mostly it's coz I'm getting older. Time for MAN-YOGA

I went and looked at this seat this week it is in beautiful condition! Very comfy but sadly I have trouble getting my leg over the backrest with my spinal issues

And the hill that i live on does not make it any easier...
Great to finally meet you mate

a little story
short version
home from a trip loaded down heavy and in front of the gate i stood up the bike prepared to swing right leg off when i stepped on shifter and into low. thought i was going to go through the gate but the engine killed before driving off the stand.

A classic (underwear) skid mark moment.

Do you still have the seat with driver's backrest? Will it fit a 2013 R3 tour? If so any idea on shipping costs to 29681 in USA?

 

[Ishrub]

No unfortunatiely this will never fit a Touring R3T it is for R3 standards, Classics and Roadsters only.

This is a
CLASSIC TOURING SEAT - DUAL A9708164
For use with ADJUSTABLE RIDER BACKREST A9708160

There is a Touring version - actually 2 versions a solo with seperate copillion and a dual Longhaul version.

What you are after is either
LONGHAUL TOURING SEAT - DUAL A9700209
Shown with ADJUSTABLE RIDER BACKREST - LONGHAUL A9708158

or
BUCKET SOLO SEAT A9708162
Shown with ADJUSTABLE RIDER BACKREST - LONGHAUL A9708158

and maybe
COMFORT PILLION SEAT A9708163

The backrests are ALL interchangeable except the Touring one is a grayer color vinyl hence the slightly different part numbers.

There are still the base seats available new or used with the hole for the backrest but rarely from dealers now. A few of us have made our own backrests to suit the square hole and mounting mount. Others just get a 'Utopia USA' brand backrest. The seats with or without the hole and or riders backrest, are typically the most comfortable factory Triumph seats available.

I can source both the Touring base seats and pillion but no longer the rider's backrests.

The backrests are the 'unicorn' bit. The used sets come up sporadically, none for 6 months then a couple in a month then 12 months zilch.

I can say buying this setup was one of the best things I've done so far. And @Mittzy was the bloke I bought it from. The only way it's coming off the bike is if I sell it and get another Rocket.
