Looking For A Seat For A Triumph Sprint 1996

Hi mate,

Joe. I think the seats from most - if not all - T300s are exactly the same (except for colour, obviously) so Trident; Trophy; Daytona seats should all fit. I may have one - I'll check tomorrow - but it would probably require a refurb.

I'll let you know.

 

Alright joe, I will be expecting to hear from your friend or you yourself, since you already got my email.
Regards.

 

Hi @joe mc donald Apologies for the delay - been busy.

I checked in my 'stash' and I DO have a spare seat - however ..... there's bad news and good news!

The bad is it isn't the same part number (I think the one I have is T2300058) and, as I thought, it does require a full refurb. The seat cover is original and is almost certainly not salvageable - it's split and the splits have been duct-taped over; the covers staples are quite rusty and there's a bit of corrosion on the retainers but not bad and not extensive, and it doesn't have a pillion grab strap (i.e. it's not got one nor is meant to have one, so no strap and/or fittings) though very few did as I recall.

The good news, as such, is it looks like the same shape/size/form of the later part number (I'm fairly sure that all the early T300 Trident, Trophy and Daytona models used the same shaped seat) and it has all the rubbers; the retainers and 'hardware'. The foam MIGHT be OK - difficult to tell, but it feels OK.

And,finally, if it is of interest, your friend can have it for the cost of postage (or free if he collects from Devonshire!) and a donation to the South West Blood Bikes charity.

I can take and whatsapp pictures if you or your friend are interested.
