Note: I will be away from home Tuesday 24-Mon 30 Oct.
Unmarked Rider's backrest(A9708160) and brand new unused Classic dual seat(A9708164)
with a more comfortable perch for both rider and pillion - some say the best OEM Triumph R3 STD , Classic and Roadster seat of all but does NOT fit the Touring R3 despite the seat name.
These fit Standard, Classic and ROADSTER from 2004 - 2017 but NOT the 2008 on TOURING.
I have sold two before and am asking AU$550 Australian plus shipping (approx. US$432). I can arrange a courier in Australia for a good price. International shipping is available but will not be cheap probably AU$160 (Approx US$125).
As the listing states
" Triumph Motorcycle Description: DUAL SEAT, L/HAUL TOURING KIT
Triumph Motorcycle Part Number: A9708164
**THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BACK REST WHICH IS NOW OBSOLETE** "
AND the unobtainable RIDER's back rest (A9708160)
These Classic dual seats (A9708164) were produced and named before the Rocket Touring model existed and are for 'Standard', 'Classic' and 'Roadster' use.
They have a small square hole just behind the rider bucket portion with a plastic plug you can remove to fit the rider's backrest.
The backrest themselves (A9708160) are now considered "unobtanium" but pop up now and again - the Rocket 'Touring' version seats (T2302130) have the same backrest with a different part number (A9708158), which are interchangeable but are a slightly different colour vinyl, although the 'Touring' model seats themselves will not fit a 'Standard', 'Classic' or 'Roadster'
A rider's backrest (A9708158) which are interchangeable with the (A9708160) but a slightly lighter gray color vinyl sold recently on US eBay in April 2017 for a ridiculous price of US$405 by itself. TRIUMPH ROCKET 3 TOURING - ADJUSTABLE RIDER BACKREST, LONGHAUL A9708158 | eBay
