Hi, I've got a 1998 Thunderbird Sport. Its all standard and is a great bike to ride, however my wife find that after about an hour as a pillion she gets really uncomfortable ( I have heard of this before), and we have to have a pit stop.
I've seen various seats Corbin, King And Queen etc and the question I'm asking has anyone else had this happen and how have they overcome it (apart from divorce, ha ha). Which is the most comfortable as I don't want buy a new seat and still find there's still a problem.
My seat is fixed to the bike using the keylock latch on the left side of the bike and not bolts. Also will a seat for a Thunderbird fit a Thunderbird Sport?

Best regards

Phil

my wife has the same problem, she's forever moving about to get comfy, I've told her anyone asks what bike I ride I'm gunna say a Triumph Shufflearse!!!!
I've seen 2 firms at the Rufforth Autojumble that strip the seat & put in gel inserts, thats supposed to cure the problem, they were both in Yorkshire but no doubt there someone in your area?
I was thinking of having mine done but decided to wait for New Tiger later this year.
