Scrambler seat on a Thruxton

I would be interested in your opinions of the Scrambler seat on my Thruxton. I got it today from Bad Penguin and plan to use it for overnight rides when I need to attach a bag to the seat.
Thanks

I think it looks good, more traditional, But then again I like a proper rear guard standard or ally too.

just curious, you couldn't fit the bag on the regular seat with or without the cowl?

yeah, you caught me...I could have just removed the cowl, but I was looking for an excuse to tell my wife why I bought yet another seat for the Thrux. Plus, I just always liked the look of the Scrambler seat.

It's just a bit taller and wider, not too much though. It makes a great second seat to have available.

Lying to wives = awesome.

I'm trying figure out a good one for a 988 kit and such.
