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?

doublecafe · 10-15-2009, 07:53 PM

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.

Actually, it looks pretty good!

i don't think the lines work. but, that's just my eyes. it's your bike, and if you like it, that's what counts

I like it. Is the scram seat a little taller & wider?

doublecafe · 11-06-2009, 10:59 PM

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.

just my opinion, but I think the scrambler seat looks hideous on a Thrux.
