Long haul seat

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if any of you know an accessory dealer that has access to the separate longhaul rider seat and passenger seat. My wife says the original passenger seat feels about as good as a glorified cigar box....I like the looks of the separated seats better than the combined model but I haven't been able to find any online..... Thanks..

you may want to consider rebuilding your oem seat-i did mine and turned out great-most likely better than the seat triumph sells

Just got the long haul seat at the first of the week and although the big boss has only sat on it in the garage she thinks it is a 100% better than the standard seat.

Long Haul 1 piece with riders backrest is the way to go. She'll be more comfortable and you'll be able to recline. It's plush!!
