New seat

[bruce aussie]

Picked up my new long haul touring seat today. Thanks @TOMCAT and @ozrider for your input and advice. $165.00 from Triumph Springwood took a week to get in.

Good price mate .. see you got the riders backrest option one .. guess none of us are getting any younger hey Bruce ..hahahahahahahaha

 

[TOMCAT]

WTF .. just seen the instruction tag ..to be fitted by a trained mechanic .. it's turning a f#ckin key for f#cks sake.

and 2 allan bolts if he's fitting the mounting plate - which I know you didn't......

The cable on the back catch is 15ml longer than the older seats. You can actually hook it with your finger. I didn't go with the old man backrest, not old enough yet.

Another bit of plastic I won't be needing.

 

[TOMCAT]

Give it another 12 months .. I agree mate. Not old enough just yet

I just read that myself. I've already fitted it, what will I do now? Will I void my warranty? Is big brother watching me ? Will they come and get me for fitting it myself? Will the mechanics union black ban me for doing a mechanic out of a job? My head is spinning I think I'll go and have a lie down.

I won't be getting one from Triumph Springwood, they had one left in stock $299.00 said they have stopped making them.
