I've never seen one. But you can get one-piece front & rear seat replacements - bagster make them.

They ain't cheap you know... They're about £125 if memory serves :!:

:shock: Ooof

You could have your pillion seat sculpted & a gel pad inserted by Melvin here, again, not cheap, but £85 (I think mine cost,) is cheaper than £125...

Just a thought :wink:

Cheers Cloggsy looks good but I reckon the otherone will be better as there is quite a gap between me and the end of the seat, so everytime I break the lady slides off the seat and slumps all over the back of me so getting this seat will reduce the slump factor! :shock:

Don't bet on it, the surface of the Baglux seat is slippy as hell, ask Ophic :lol: :lol: :lol:

nah its not as slippy as stock. Not perfect tho. I had one of these on my stock pillion seat:

www.triboseat.com

so i put it on the new seat and that seems to be just about right.

If any young ladies want a demonstration of just how right it is, i'm right here...

side note: there seems to be a new site www.triboseat.co.uk - i don't think these are the same company. Bit of an underhand tactic, imho.

i got a pillion seat off ebay 25 quid, and bought a gel pad from m+p ( ithink) about 30 quid and took it to tony archer in huddersfield nd for £20 he put it in and recovered the seat.

it doesnt make much much difference though, she says its a bit better thats all.

baster one looks comfy
