    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    650 Triumph Tiger motor. Single Amal. R/h gear shift. Somewhere middle of 60's.

    Like style!

    Didn't Steam want a tractor seat for a bike at some point?

    Those old rusty massey ferguson seats are more comfortable than you'd think!

    The seat actually looked OK for comfort.

    Having said that I dont think that I would like to ride it for a long trip.

    Depends how fat you are.

    If you have a fat arse then they are unbelievably uncomfortable.

    Got one, attached it, comfy at 50kph but not at high-vibration speeds of up to 100 kilometres an hour. If I am going to put a tractor seat on a motorcycle again I will include some shock absorbing rubber mounts. single cylinder motorcycles and hard mounted seats are not a good combination.
