Stock seat is ok. The Corbin I think destroys the lines of the bike but it’s probably comfortable. The Crafton Atalier looks just a bit to thick for my eye but I’m glad you posted a real life view because I’ve been considering it. I think I’ll wait and see what motone comes out with or hopefully a diamond stitched BC slammer comes out.

Now that's what I call a good looking seat. I hope it is comfortable as well. The only problem for me is now I can't look at my Speed Twin without wishing I also had one. And "Summer is coming" here, even if it will not be right tomorrow.

Great looking seat. The Corbin looks like a piece of lumber! I used to have only Corbin seats on my bikes; but the look has not progressed with the cafe style. I have used Wilder Factory seats on my last two custom Bonnies. They are fantastic.

Nice that you are trying different seat options, but I don't see a problem with the stock seat.... and I love the Triumph branding on the back of the stock seat.

Thanks for sharing, Adam. The best looking seat for the Speed Twin, in my opinon, if the factory option diamond stitch bench seat. It's flatter and lower profile, so it's probably not the most comfortable, but suits the bike. Corbin looks comfy, but ruins the bike visually. The Crafton has nice details, but is too thick for my taste. As an all round bike you use for everything though, comfort and practicality are important, and my comments are based only on appearance. Would love to see a wider shot of your bike with the lower bar risers.

So, Adam. I see you upgraded the seat. I’m about to pull the trigger on a ride from San Diego to Las Vegas and I have the stock seat. Thoughts?

Does the rack interfere with a comfortable seat for a pinion? Looks like the side rails may??

You should fit the Triumph headlight bezel, really sets out the front end.

Hi Adam, how is the Crafton holding up? I want to order but Crafton says their seat is not waterproof and provides a seat rain cover? I can't imagine ever putting a rain cover on seat or not washing seat when I wash the bike. Do you worry at all about seat getting wet? Thanks

I recently picked up a speed twin, and while I think it's beautiful from the tank forward none of the available seat options look decent. There is one I've seen from a German company but I've yet to find a place to order it. I want something that covers the ugly frame rails all the way around like the thruxton, and fits the lines of the bike.

Where did you get your rear rack from ?

@Fr99763 3 жыл бұрын

Adam hi, Love the look of this Crafton seat. But is it any good? Comfy on long rides? The stock seat is not that comfortable. Then I fitted the Corbin, which was fine for awhile. but since I fitted the Hepco& Becker rack, the Corbin does not fit anymore (too narrow at the end). However, I will keep the rack as I need it. I do not want to be wrong again... Thanks in advance

The crafton is softer and more comfortable than my Corbin in my opinion.

I thought that the Corbin seat did not fit with the Hepco and Becker tail rack.

Apologies if you have already answered this, but could you tell me where you got the black bar with the passenger grips at the back?

Hi Adam. Thanks for your channel. I have a question: i just bought a speed twin and i plan to have a trip with my wife but the original seat appears not so comfortable for the passenger. I had seen a video of yours talking about corbin, but i realised you noticed some issues with the bags. Do you have any suggestions for making my bike good for a trip? Which equipment to install? Thanks a lot

@AdamCroll 3 жыл бұрын

Depending on how long of a trip, I’d upgrade the seat, get a decent tank bag and there is a lot of options now for saddle bags. Maybe a fly screen would help as well

@@AdamCroll not so long. I mean, 4 hours trip to reach the hotel with my wife. I appreciate that the corbin seat might be a good option, but I don’t know if it is compatible with sw motech bars on the back. Do you have suggestions for bags with corbin?
