TBS Stock seat

HI! I own two seats for my Legend (the original, unused one) and a higher, softer, custom made one.

Nevertheless I would like to sell/trade one or both of them for a stock TBS seat (I know I will have to make some mods to have this on my Legend).

Anybody selling a good condition stock TBS Seat?

A Thruxton seat would be nice too, but I really don't know if this would fit (even if with mods)... anybody knows?

Thank you!

I have a 2003 TBS, what is the difference between that seat and the standard? just stiched ribbing? or is the mounting different as well?

The rubber bumpers on the bottom of the seat are different, just change them around to fit the subframe. The Early TBird (95-98) and the TBS subframes are pretty similar, The TBS one is bent upwards
to accommodate the greater suspension travel of the TBS rear shock.
You can see in the photos the location of the latching mechanism is different and it is rotated 180 degrees. Very Early TBird seats do not have the second location for the latch built in so it's not as easy to switch them, but it is still dooable.

The newer TBird seat is bolt on and it is quite different, it is like the legend seat with different padding/covering. it's possible to install the locking seat on a later TBird. Search Mick's old (about 3 or 4 years ago) posts and you'll find some info about that, if it's still there.
