I picked this up this weekend, its a 04 T100 with 6400 miles.
I'm looking at getting a contemporary seat with cowl. Is there a good place to buy one or does anyone here have one for sale?



Happy New Year

I really like the Corbin Smuggler but be advised you may have fitting problems. Check threads on this and Bonnie Owners Forum. I have nothing but good things to say about mine.

You may want to check out the Triumph Sixty-8 stuff. Looks pretty good and Triumph makes good accessories. The Corbin is pretty expensive but it does give some storage for tool kit, cell phone ect. Have fun and may I compliment you on your great taste in color scheme!

Hey Brooksie, that seat looks pretty nice.

Toyanvil, check for threads where riders have fabricated their own. I'm gonna start looking for a pan and build a solo seat and cowl for moving the battery/electrics. It shouldn't cost too much, even if you have the seat upholstered by someone else.

Oh, post in the classifieds on this site. But cross post in the threads related to your twin. Not everyone checks the classifieds.

The thruxton parts will fit but will not be as comfortable as the seat now on your bike. The corbin, while not cheap, is probably your best alternative for look and comfort.-T1

Brooksie-

You're bike has such a clean, sleek, elegant look...

You know that, and you've got it down to a tee.

Perfecto, senior.

Ole!

Welcome to the forum. I occasionally ride the mountains near Gorman with other forum members - we could meet you up there a little later in the year, after the rain/snow season has passed.
Lemme know if you wanna sell the current seat - looks like the Triumph solo seat.

Nice bike Tonyanvil.
The 68-line has the contemporary seat, shows retail $295. Cowl is $130. Check the classifieds here, as Thruxton stock seats and cowls sometimes get posted.

A Corbin saddle would be comfier than Triumph's seat. Gunfighter saddle is $300, a seat cowl to fit that seat is available for $110 from Airtech. They also have a cowl to fit the contemporary seat.
