Premium hand-crafted seat made in the UK from RK Leighton. The dual seat is a prominent part of the restored motorcycle, and the seat should be finished in the correct pattern and color. This faithful reproduction seat is specified for the US-market 1971-1972 Triumph 650 oil-in-frame models with the right-side hinges and “lunchbox” type latch.
Manufactured in the UK to original specifications, this black-top dual seat features a basketweave top pattern with a silver trim strip around the skirt of the seat cover. The hinge spacing is 11″ and a gold Triumph logo is featured 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 latching mechanism of the left 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.
