Ultra Rare R3Touring Triumph factory accessory.
An original Longhaul dual seat WITH or WITHOUT the original matching Triumph Rider's backrest.
Price Au$750 (US$485) + postage/insurance for both seat and backrest.
That is cheaper than many I have seen sold over the years!


The Triumph seats are quite light and Australia Post rates from Australia are about half the price compared to Canada/USA mail rates as I have bought many things from Canada/USA before and suffered the postage rape.
I have sent these seats and backrests all over the world (even Russia just before the war started!).
It will be about 7Kg packed together.
Std airmail from Canberra, Australia to Canada/USA is the SAME and not too bad.

I brought home my as new R3T original Longhaul Dual seat with the riders backrest hole A9700209 that was in storage.
When Triumph sold out they substituted the identical looking fiited BUT 2x part Bucket Solo and Comfort pillion seats sold as the Longhaul Dual Tour replacement.
I have a special custom bracket so I can use the rider's backrest with my Solo seats on my twin headlight Roadster so have been reluctant to sell the back rest too.
A few of us have made our own backrests to fit the factory seats with the mounting hole and there are a great set of plans an Aussie member provided when he he had some made by an engineering workshop.

Funds are short for my move so I may have to dig out one of my home made ones to use with my Roadster bracket and sell this as a complete set.

It's from the War of 1812, my dad bought it 50 years ago for $500, I turned down $10,000 for it. I'm in the process of making a new carriage for it.
When my dad died, he wanted me to shoot his ashes out of it over the Erie Canal. I called my uncle and asked him how much black powder to use, he said 8 oz. Seemed like a lot, but ok. The first shot picked the Canon up 2' in the air and it landed 3' back. I looked at my uncle, he said maybe it was 4 oz, I think 8 oz is a combat load.
My mother didn't like guns, they used to fight when my dad and my uncles used to get drunk at 4th of July parties and fire the canon in our back yard and the cops would come.
When my mom was dying a couple years later, she said I suppose you're going to shoot me out of that G@d d@mn canon? I said it's up to you, she said, oh, I suppose you might as well.

great story
i am thinking about two ounces for you :roll: :roll:
i doubled the load (wasn't thinking) on a black power pistol for my mom and it almost hit her in the face she didn't want to shoot it again and the pistol actually re cocked the hammer.
