R3 tourer seat comfort

[Bob Cowie]

Hi, just got my r3 tourer, VERY HAPPY, just not sure about seat? Anyone else think it could be better? Bob.

Welcome to the site! You might check out Russel Day Long Saddles.

I replaced the stock seat with the Triumph Long Haul Dual seat and the Back Rest. It's better. But not as good as an aftermarket seat would be. Time and money. Both in short supply.

I've got the Triumph solo saddle and backrest..
Like it a lot, but seatrs are a pretty subjective thing...

I guess I'm strange but I find the stock seat comfortable. I guess racing KTM dirt bikes that use a brick for seat has me used to riding stuff like that.

I took my seat to Sargents in Jacksonville. They raised my seat about an inch and moved me back a little. Then leveled out the upper seat so my wife would not slide forward. They recovered it in the fabric of my choice.

It's much better than the stock seat. $350 complete.

Welcome to the site. There is an Introduction forum.

Any photos or links? I have an extra seat I'm wanting refinished for the touring periods.

I uploaded a picture to the photo album page. How do you move it into the post?

I'm out of time and going to be late for church. I will take some better photos later today.
