    Triumph list this for £250+:eek:
    Just got it off a mate at work for £30:)
    It's off a Rocket 3 roadster...mint condition :)
    I'm sure I'll be able to modify it to fit my BPOS :p IMG_0439.JPG

    Had this Chinese pillion pad
    Had it glued to a tank bag for carrying stuff on the back of my BPOS :)
    Only used it once :(
    So out came the Stanley knife and I cut the sucker tray off :p
    IMG_0458.JPG Then removed the strap and mounting plate from the Rocket seat :) IMG_0459.JPG then attached the sucker plate to the underneath of the seat using counter sunk self tappers
    Finally glued some rubber strips over the screw heads (just in case):) IMG_0461.JPG will put it on the bike tonight after work and post a picture :)

    All done :)
    Those of you who know this type of Rocket seat will know that I've mounted it back to front :( but I think it works better this way as it gives a better cushion area for the passenger:)
    :eek: Dunno why the first picture is smokey :( IMG_0463.JPG IMG_0462.JPG

    With bolts and not the suckers it wouldn't work as an ejector seat :cool:
    Looks well though and fits good :D

    I was wary of this as well :confused:
    But I used my mate Frank as a guinea pig:p
    Took him out a few months ago when it was still the Chinese pad and he said it was fine :)
    Also took him to Stormin the Castle...again no problem :)
    When it's fitted it's immovable and of course the weight of the passenger makes it even harder to move :)
    When it comes to removal it won't slide at all...the suckers are that good :eek: it has to be rived off....being careful not to pull the bike over or off it's stand o_O
    Besides Frank is my Friday night and rally drinking buddy.... I need him and he trusts me :p
    Wouldn't you :rolleyes:
