King and Queen vs Standard Seat

Hi,

This week I have bought a King and Queen seat. I've made some pictures of the seat along the standard one that I would like to share (for the ones considering to buy one).

Next week, my wife and I will make a trip to the England. After that I will share how our butts experienced the new seat :-).

Cheers,

Ron

Very nice side by side pics. Your butts will love you for using the K&Q seat. However, your eyes might burn a little when looking directly at your bike with it installed. I'm always saying "everything in life is a compromise", but maybe I should instead start saying "enjoy the ride".

I have never seem one on the bike. Any pix anyone? Also is it true it can't be used with the high sissy bar/backrest pad combo? Seems kind of counterproductive to me if true.

We need a "sticky" for saddles to go with the exhaust and handlebars ones we already have!
(I have a seat in my truck,a seat in my pants,but my motorcycle has a saddle!)

There's no comparison, the K&Q seat is so much better than stock. I've done a lot of touring on mine with a pillion, 3 weeks recently, 4,500km and we didn't feel any seat fatigue atall. Highly recommended.

Ride on !

I like the look of a King and Queen seat. It's a pity I can't stand over a 100 miles without a chance to move my bottom around. Being a year round rider and not always having a dry parking space it'll collect too much rain in it's dimples. I hate sitting in water.
Weighing in at 150/155 pounds for my 6 ft (holidays make me gain weight) I'm satisfied with my ironing board. I did sell the K and Q in a pristine condition.It only got wet once ( not what you think-it RAINED on it!)

Thieu.

These seats are kinda a bummer for me. The split between the king section and the queen section is too far forward. makes riding really uncomfortable.

K&Q seat is fine with the Triumph "high" sissy bar too. I use that combination any time I ride with a passenger.

It's not compatible with the Triumph "low" sissy bar.
