The dual seat is a prominent part of the restored motorcycle, and the seat cover should be finished in the correct pattern and color. This grey-top seat is correct for the 1963-1966 early unit Triumph twins, as well as the 1960-1962 6T and T110 models. Not suitable for fitment to the 1960-1962 TR6 and T120 models with integrated mounting brackets.
Manufactured in the UK to original specifications, this top quality grey-top dual seat features white piping and a grey band around the bottom of the cover. This is a restoration quality seat and is finished with the gold Triumph logo on the back of the cover.
The dual seat is attached to the rear frame with hinges that are located on hooked mounting tabs, allowing the seat to be lifted without removal. A stay on the seat pan secures the seat in the down position by engaging with a spring-loaded plunger on the right side of the rear frame. A seat check wire prevents the seat from fouling the side panel when fully opened.
Hinges are bolted to the bosses on the underside of the seat pan. It is recommended that the front hinge is loosely fitted first to the seat pan, then the rear hinge captured on the hooked mounting tab can be bolted to the seat pan. Once the correct alignment is established, the hinge bolts can be fully tightened, securing the seat to the rear frame section.Â
