Anyone have this Seat?

mrmach5 · Aug 10, 2016

I was looking at seat alternatives for my 75 Mk3. Looking for something that makes me feel more like I'm riding the bike rather than it riding me. Perhaps a Corbin Gunfighter?
Then I found this Small Hump Seat - Norton Commando Roadster MK3 at British Bike Bits in the UK. Anyone own one, or have tried one? Opinions?
Thanks

I don't have the dual seat version but the single seat, bought it from Mick Hemmings and its very good, you don't have to pull yourself forward against the acceleration

and its comfortable. Not sure if the BBB is the same maker though.

Is this the one?

I have the same question as I often thought about getting one

Iv'e got one of them on a mk 3 ( I take the hinge etc off mk 3 bikes and have a lift off seat) . I like it a lot. One thing when I got it I thought the material was pulled too tight, so I removed a few of them horrible trim clips and the bottom trim holds it just fine. I did have one of the other seats with the bigger hump, and I hated the look of it.

What is your arraignment for securing the seat on the hinge side?

I just converted the hinge side to standard Commando alloy seat knob etc and bought a seat for a pre mk 3 Commando. I have in fact converted my Triumphs to Norton type seat fixings, just by making some seat brackets and riveting them to the base.

I have one in Speirmoor's link on my 72 Roadster. I had to straighten out the kinks in the tabs in a vice to get them to reach the seat knob fixings a bit more but this was easy enough although it shouldn't have to be a necessity for the end user to make a product fit. Another slight glitch is that the "Norton " logo isn't quite central laterally. Other than that it's fine and I would have another.

I put one on my '72 Roadsrer. It is more comfortable than the Corbin Gunslinger. The gold lettering did not last very long.

I got one from Old Britts for my Roadster a couple years ago to replace Corbin.
Suits me much better as I am 6' tall and can sit further back which i find more comfortable.
Just checked - looks like OB does not carry them anymore.

I have two from Old Britts: one for an Intestate tank and one for a Roadster tank (same bike). I think they're more comfortable and more durable than the Corbin seat I used to have, especially with rearsrts.

Yep; can't find them on Old Britts! Darn, and I was just getting all worked up about finding something other than Corbin that worked well for my 6' frame.

Anyone have this Seat?
