    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.

    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.

    Is twerking a longer version of twerk?.....which maybe means a Yorkshire man going to his job.;););););)

    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
