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.

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.

Not to be a negative nancy

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.
