I've had a T120 seat on mine since the end of summer. I love the way it looks.

Is that also a T120 taillight on your Scrambler?

Any more pics or details about that?

Thanks for posting up this info. Its something I was hoping to try at the dealers one day.

Can I have a little more detail as to why the mudguard needs lowering?
I ask this is I have read somewhere, and its not necessarily for this seat conversion, but there is some plastic protrusions that can be cut away to make it fit as normal.

Thanks
Paul

 

Hi paul
I had to lower the seat because the seat is a bit deeper and touches the guard at the back also a couple of washers under the two rear mounting screws is better than cutting things away I think. and the small amount you have to drop it is really not noticeable.
Thanks
Dave.

 

Thanks Dave.

That's reassured me if its not a noticeable drop.
I actually have the scrambler and was looking more alternatives other than just the ST seat

Damn, you have a good eye! Just me making something more custom with left over parts. I don't bring it up because it's a self done mod, it requires some dremeling of plastic shroud to fit the radius of the T120 seat. But here it is mounted to the stock fender. I also once mounted it with the stock Thruxton fender but the length of the fender was not to my liking. Here's some mock up/progress pictures and then the final product. The grease pencil marks are me trying to find the right radius to cut, etc.

I was hoping it'd be a slightly better fit than that but not bad, that's exactly what I was planning to do. Who's left side luggage rack is that?

Thanks for posting!

OEM Triumph pannier.

 

Looks terrific

 

That's a Kawasaki in the background, what is it?

 

Looks like a Dubya Wun >

 

W1, my guess as well. A collector’s.
...which makes it an air-cooled twin.

 

Hi its a 1966 Kawasaki W1 sadly she is up for sale this year.

After you sell it, you can post on the thread about "the one bike you regret selling", elsewhere here.:wink2:

 

All who have fitted the t100 or t120 seat.. how is the comfort on it compared to the stock SS seat?

 

Significantly better.

I agree. Much more padding and a little bit more leg room if you're taller.

 

Great thanks! So even the non-comfort t100/120 seat is better than the stock SS seat? Or just the comfort seat?

 

The stock T120 seat is definitely better than the stock Street Twin seat. Extra height=more leg room, much deeper padding too. The comfort seat adds a Gel layer for a bit more plushness.

 

Hi, has anyone done this the other way and fitted a street twin seat to a Bonneville t120?

 

I have. My 2016 street twin seat will fit my 2018 T120 with no modifications. It does snap in place a little tightly and can take a little jiggling to get it loose once the seat key is turned but no problems. As expected the standover height is reduced a bit compared to the stock T120 seat. The look is a bit ‘off’. Just doesn’t look quite right, but the comfort is very good. The street twin seat provides a wider platform, but doesn’t have the front to rear position flexibility that the T120 seat affords. I’m fortunate in that my butt likes both the T120 seat and the street twin seat, and I regularly do 6+hour rides. If looks aren’t a big concern and you can stand a little bit lower standover height, a street twin seat on your T120 just might be the ticket.

Street Twin with T120 King & Queen seat if anyone is interested!

 

is this for sale or you are just showing how it looks? also how comfortable is it?

 

I like to do the same. Can use the leg room and I like the look of the white piping.
Is the wiring above the side panels visible because you raised the seat by putting washers under the latch?

Do you think an upholster could easily remove a bit of padding from the under edge of the seat to make it unnecessary to raise the latch?

hey @roadscum did you end up making the change ? I'm tall (1,87m) and looking into swapping my stock ST seat for the T120. Any info/feedback is welcome.
