I saw a factory gel seat offered as an option for the Thruxton. Anybody know if it will fit a standard Bonnie? Thanks.

Thanks Ridge,no pics as cowl is still being shaped but will snap one tomorrow of my working model. It does work at keeping me from sliding back during spirited riding.

Nice seat (both with the old single seat and with the new thrux gel one). I love what you have done to the bike with jsut a few simple changes!! Where did you get that old seat from?

If it doesn`t look like a Triumph seat,then its one I made. And Ridge,I put a couple pic`s in my album.Will have some of the new lowered version also this week.Not a full cowl,just a targa cowl.

After looking at the pictures, it seems like there were two seats, a sheepskin covered one and a more rounded one. I am assuming you made both? I really love the look these give the bonnie... any suggestions on materials, patterns, or places for me to start?
