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

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

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!

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

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
