My wife says she's good for 100 miles or less. The seat just isn't comfy enough for her. She comparing it to the king and queen that we had on the old Viagra... Virago.

Is there a plush pillion pedistool (sp) that I can prop my princess pillion rider on?

The search button and Google aren't giving good leads...please help before I drop other "p" words.

07 America needs some help. Thanks

Geoh3, I know fairly recently Triumph changed the pillion seat for a more comfy one, perhaps you have the older style and can look at the new one in this case?

I have the Corbin pad for my princess. She likes it. Much wider and thicker than stock.

I had Spencer mod both the driver and pillion on my 07 America. My wife likes the mod seat much better than the Triumph touring seat FWIW.

Bellblue.... awesome offer!!!! I like to meet other Triumph riders in 3-D.
My wife broke her ankle 2 weeks ago and wants a few weeks of healing before getting on the bike again. We rode last weekend and she said that the comfort factor of the original seat set back the healing process and hurt the next day.

Do any of you have any photos of this seat on your bike?

Thanks mrt, I'm gonna check corbin's web site tonight.

Hello,
I found a place called Freedom Cycle in Reno, NV. That has some custom made touring seats made by Saddleman Seats. They are about $560.00 and they claim they are Great. I been thinking hard about it but don't have the money yet. But they said they have 5 on order. Pull up the web site if your interested.

My wife loves her seat on the America. We ride all day and never complains. In fact, the seat comfort is why she convinced me to buy the America instead of the T100. She's 5'5" and about 120 lbs.

Has any one tried out the gel seat made by Triumph for the America. I'm only good for one hour on my stock seat then need at least 10 minutes to walk around. After that break i'm only good for about 30 minutes and have to break again and again and again.
