T-Bird Sport One Up Seat

Anyone have a T-Bird one up seat and cowl they want to get rid of? Maybe even a Corbin Gunslinger? I really want to go with the cafe seat and no rear fender look but I can't seem to sell the old lady on a $250 seat.

If you find a Triumph solo seat for $250, please let me know.

The most recent one I've seen on ebay sold for 326.

They're $250 from the dealer, unpainted. $275 with paint.

Last I heard you cannot get them from Triumph any longer.
It is a discontinued part and they are sold out.

Not sure if it will ever happen again, RBARE, but I got lucky on ebay last month, nearly outbidded in the last 10 seconds. Bidding started out @ $299, only to have me shell out over $500+shipping. These items are no longer being produced. Break out the logic with your Lady, and rationalize the cost of what a mere $250 can do for comfort. That's less than a dollar a day if you ride for one season.

I don't find the solo seat any more comfortable than the stock one. Better looking, for sure !

If you want comfort, go with the Corbin. I think you cane still buy them in the price range you are looking for.

Yes! Absolutely better looking... I couldn't sell myself on the Corbin, although I'm sure it's more comfy. After the first ride on the solo seat, I thought It was a bit firm, but I think I like the support now, compared to the squishy stock two-up throne!
