Triumphrat

I got a good deal on the triumph king & Queen seat
$190.00 shipped to my house.
I could not take riding on that ironing board any more.
I did not know that my triumph low sissy bar would not fit
with the K & Q seat. I like the sissy bar for my kids.
and I was not about to spend $315.00 plus shipping for
the high sissy bar.
Tell me what do you think.

I cut it from a 12 gage sheet of stainless steel. The polished
it up nice and shinny. I brought it up even a little higher
for better support.
Here is a pic of the sissy bar riser ,and the new k&Q seat.
I think it really changes the look of the bike, not as sleek.
But a lot more comfy.

Thanks
the triumph emblem come off the stock back plate.
I ground the rivets off, and used (2) 6-32 s.s. allen button
heads to attach it to the new plate.

Thanks Kevin
some times you have to be creative , when you don't want
to dig deep into your pocket
Check out the seat bolt extensions. all stainless steel
welded to the stock bolts.

I can see one coming for my america. Top job. I have the short Trumpy one and it tends to cramp the pillion's ass and they constantly slide forward on the seat. The tall one would do the job, but I'm not spending another $400 aus. Thanks for the idea.
