Wondered if anyone has fitted a solo seat to their ST.

I've got one here. Part number VTR 7065 with no real guidance on fitting. I don't want to just bodge it on so if anyone has any ideas. I have stupidly limited Internet but looks like I have the full kit..

Jam a teaspoon and a carrier bag under the rearmost tab to provide a close fit. The side tabs require a hamster skull, a radiator key and the straw from a can of wd40. For the front you can use the beak of a furby, 6 acorns and the start button from a super nintendo controller.

I don't know, sorry!

675 looks fairly bare? Can't see any instructions there?

I don't want to bodge it purely because it's my fave bike and it deserves to be looked after Laughing

Couldn't find anything with the item number you provided online. I used this website : https://www.triumphinstructions.com/default.aspx

Did find this however (same site, very different part number) : https://www.triumphinstructions.com/proddocs/a9708098-en.pdf

Not sure if that's the correct one for your model though.

Got it from the for sale section Smile aim is to make a CF copy.

https://www.redracingparts.com/english/motorbikesmotorcycles/partsandaccessories/fibreglassfiberglass/triumph/StreetTripleR6752007.php

They have them for sale.

I'm going to try and figure it out tomorrow but quite confused Laughing

Should add. It's not a cowl, it's a full race solo seat.

Really?

It slides over the back of the existing dual seat, and then bolts on with two dome headed hex bolts...

Have you really embraced the bodging so much that you can't even fit two bolts? Razz Laughing Laughing

*edit* ah, just seen it's the full race seat. Dunno, should be just as simple though. Don't know why you'd want to... It's going to be ludicrously uncomfortable.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

This is what I though but then I'm thinking no, couldn't be that simple.

I thought about getting a seat cowl but it's silly money for a small piece of plastic decor.

Doing because...

A, Carbon copy of it will be easy to make and sell.

B, My side panels are damaged from theft, so going to carbon copy them, fix the mounting points and keep them as backups.

C, Wanted solo seat for looks.

D, Because I can Laughing and have nothing better to do Thumbs Up

Make mould of it. Carbon weave over the mould.

For anyone that is interested I've got it to a loose fit level and may get pics up
