Hi, Recently purchased Triumph Triple Speed R 2014, loving the bike, but having a problem whilst riding. After about an hours riding i find the seat uncomfortable and because the shape of the seat, which slopes towards the tank i find myself being propelled forward. Wether its because i have a huge arse or its the seat its gets very uncomfortable in the goin area. I have looked on line and found various seat alternatives including cushions, which don't look great. I would appreciate any suggestions on alternative seats i could obtain, or if anyone else has had similar problems and if they've solved them. Alternatively i could take up twerking to reduce the size of my arse. Cheers, Tez.
Hi Tez, not sure if you got my humour or not, but have a look here for more useful info. https://www.google.fr/webhp?sourcei...&ie=UTF-8#q=triumph+speed+triple+comfort+seat
Sounds like it's the shape of the seat that's causing the problem. Might be worth seeing if you can get it re shaped.
i had the same problem with the "comfort" seat which was an extra, changed it to the standard seat and problem solved.
Same issue on my 2010 Speedie, I have got used to it now and just occasionally shift my arse back a bit. One solution may be tank grips so it is easier to grip the tank with your legs and stop yourself sliding forward. I think the slight nose down angle exaggerates the forward slip when braking...just a thought.
i've heard the corban seats are supposed to be great, they don't slope forward like the standard seats but apparently you cant put a seat cowl on them. it would be interesting to hear from someone who has one on the speed triple
