R3 Rider's backrest seats.

[Ishrub]

I have been buying and researching Triumph R3 seats for ages but only just discovered the Touring Dual seat with rider's backrest was replaced with the Solo seat and Comfort Pillion sold together with a new number.

So there are just 3 different R3 rider's back rest versions, two for Tourings and one for Std/ Classic/Roadster

LONGHAUL TOURING SEAT - DUAL A9700209 for Tourings

Replaced by Longhaul Seat Replacemant Kit T2302130 which is actually both items below.

I am making up some seat post stems to fit these seats and allow use of a wide variety of backrests including the Mustang flat bladed stem ones and Corbin factory or aftermarket copies with a little modification or fabrication of a basic tilt bracket.

I am going to have a go at making up a few sets to suit. Will be a while but I have the posts sorted already and a few new and used factory big Triumph Classic and Touring Longhaul pillion backrests to play with now too.

Are you looking for an alternative? I am very happy with the Utopia drivers backrest.

Yeah I have a Utopia fitted now with the Russell DayLong solo. The Utopia hinged bracket does press against the seat back but I keep half a plastic coffee cup there so it doesn't mark the leather.

I also have the Fehling rack like @Tal has but have not tried it yet (his pic below with a bag on the rack and one of my ex-Corbins ). I have a couple more Corbin Solos with various backrests too.

Has anyone here ever had Seth Laam do a seat for them. He shows a Rocket seat on his FB page. Wondering if it is someone here.

Hey Pete, how do you like the daylong and if yes is it worth the money?
Thanks buddy.

Yes, its greast best seat have had and I have tried them all.

I got mine second hand off a forum member and it was my most expensive seat but no where near full price. Because they are on the stock seat base they do not appear as aftermarket as Corbins do. I love mine.

I have the long haul seat with a backrest on my touring and have been pretty happy with it. I will tell you on a long ride my airhawk pad is what makes a difference. I’ve always been reluctant to spend big money on another seat as I am not certain it will really make a difference.
