I have a Rocket 3 but I got the dealer to throw in a classic seat which both my wife and I find to be comfortable for all day rides.
By the way, I weigh 250 lbs.



The key to rear seat comfort is having a back rest.

Everyone's taste is different I guess. I really like the look of the Russell on the Rocket. It's big and suits the size of the bike.

R3C - Triumph Seat with Back Rest

Stock seat was fine for 100 miles or less. Optional Triumph seat with rider backrest saved me, have ridden up to 760 miles in a long day and was still able to walk upright. For me, 6'1" and 300 lbs, a backrest is necessary and suits my riding style. Price was high but, for me, worth the comfort.

My wife and I rode a total of 650 miles over the holiday weekend and were very comfortable on our Classic model seat. I have the standard Rocket 3 but got my dealer to include a Classic 2-up seat when I made my deal. I think it's a good compromise between looks and comfort. That, and my wife doesn't complain
