Non Brat Style Seat Base For Thruxton

Hi All,

I personally am not a huge fan of seats that expose the frame underneath (I am just guessing that this is what "BRAT style" refers too).

However, at the same time I feel the stock bonniville seat is a little fat/bulky.


I was going to order this but it seems they don't have any stock (with foam). it says its 1' narrower, which would I think have made all the difference.

Anyone see any other options or found a middle ground?

Cheers,
Simon

I like the Burton DS003. It's a bit more sixties style and about an inch narrower than stock, it is taller though.

I had seen that and also really like it. However being a short ass, I can barely get my feet on the ground as it is, so if anything want to go thinner :)

I have just picked up an 2007 Bonne seat for a decent price. Will see if I cant take down the sides a little and round out the top edges to make it look more slimline.

Thanks Steve. yep, thats pretty much what I am going for. I managed to locate a 2008 bonneville seat that I am going to trim down and re-upholster.
Will prbably do a post on it when done... Hopefully this week.
