Watch eBay as they pop up on there from time to time.

I have been scanning ebay and the classifieds on this site for a while looking for a new seat for my TBS and there has been not much on offer.

I read somewhere that the Thunderbird seat should fit on my Adventurer, is that true?

Nope that's not true.

From the front of the seat to the rear are the biggest differences between the Adventurer, and not much of that is interchangeable, unless you change the rear sub frame. The mufflers will interchange, shock, rear wheel, but mostly everything above the wheel is different.

I concur with denny on that, the TB's seat won't fit the Adventurer. I have a friend who wanted to try my K&Q seat on his and it wasn't even close.

Ride on !

That's a hard to find seat, and very desirable among Adventurer riders.
