I've tried several seats for my Triumph T120: Stock, BC Slammer, Corbin Gunfighter, Tamarit Jerez, and Motone Rattler. Of these, the Rattler is my day-to-day seat of choice. Sleek and sharp looking, the Rattler is a handsome cafe racer seat that doesn't compromise at all on comfort. In fact, I'd say it's more comfortable than the Corbin, which is nearly twice the price and bulkier looking by comparison. Where the Corbin is firm to a fault, the Rattler's high density foam provides support without excessive rigidity. Great product, highly recommended for those looking at aftermarket seat options. Thx for the fine videos, Stuart - greetings from Los Angeles.
Any comments on how comfortable it would be for a pillion? My wife loves to ride with me and would like the back of the seat to be stepped up a few inches, being that she is shorter than me and can’t see over my shoulders, however I don’t like how bulky looking the king and queen, or the Corbin seats look. Any comments would be appreciated!
Was anyone else excited to see a liquid cooled seat, and then kinda disappointed.
Fantastic looking seat, aesthetics near as damn perfect - The quality of it leaps out of my iPad screen from your video Stu, top marks to Motone!
Brilliant video as always Stuart and that looks a mighty fine seat indeed, Motone really do make some quality kit 😃👍🏻
I appreciate the amount of effort, thought and presentation that you put into your videos. It takes practice and intelligence plus research. Brilliant. Thank you. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK. Gratitude. Quality. Respect.
Saddle looking good there and a great idea of those custom parts for builds!!! Great video as always!!!!
With a coffee or whiskey, depending on when I watch your videos ...it`s always a nice combination! Thanks Stuart, all the best to you and yours from St. Augustine, Florida!
My rear feels comfy just looking at the quilted portion of this seat! Blessing for those long rides.
Another quality product from Motone , like the kit idea too , great video again Stuart 👌
Love the look of the seat, looks a superb quality item
Nice to know that someone still takes quality seriously. Good show👍
That is a fantasticly good looking seat. Ive a Bobber and went with a corbin seat, i am very happy with it.
Great video the bike looks fantastic stay safe looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍🏻
Nice one Stuart, Motone as always have got it spot on...
Beautiful workmanship.
Looks good, well done Motone. Hope you, you’re wife & willow are safe & well.
Excellent seating
I love this style of seat! I'd love to have it on my 2011 T100
Another quality product from Motone,love their attention to detail on the foam form, a detail overlooked buy oem manufacturers, quality, quality,quality all through.
Shame they don't make Honda accessories too.
Another concise video Stuart its much appreciated.
Luvya work mate..
Cheers from Aussie stray lee ah.
Motone are awesome
Bought brass fuel cap for my Enfield pegasus. Looks ace.
Another great video thank you. What about seat comfort? I am old enough to remember the original Triumphs and they (from memory which may be tinged with a rose colour) seemed to have more comfortable and better padded seats than today's offerings. I will be purchasing a new seat for my T100 and it will be from Motone but which one is going to be best for my ageing backside? Thank you as always. John
Good looking seat there Stu, I’d be interested if Motone produce one for the speed twin 👍🏻
Like much more the look of the flat seat. For this bike at least. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the review and discount code. How's the rider seat height and pillion comfort?
That's a rattling great looking seat, very cool and looks real quality.
seat looks good hope its more comfortable than the original
Nice looking seat!
Seats are such a subjective product. This is not my style, but, I appreciate that it may appeal to others depending on the theme look they are going for. My favorite was always the Retro seats for the air cooled models, but, I was disappointed they could not produce a similar one for the liquid cooled models. They did produce an offering, but, I felt it missed the mark because of the change in the frame rails and overall width of the seat pan and inability to attached the chrome trim at the bottom. I opted to have my stock seat reconfigured and recovered in solid black. It still is not the perfect looking seat to me, but, it is a lot more comfortable and correct looking vs the stock offering. Looking forward to update on the comfort when you have had a few hundred miles on it. That may take a while unless you stop buying more motorcycles. lol
It almost makes me want to go and buy a T 120 just so I can have that seat. Beautiful piece of kit. I wonder if they have a Speedmaster seat in the pipeline?
Beautiful shape.
Hi Stuart , so how more comfortable is the rattler seat compared to the standard T120 liquid cooled one? Have you had a chance to do a longer trip to report back on?
Gorrrrrgeous ! ! 😎
It will be interesting to see the variations they come up with for the seats. I carry a pillion most of the time and want comfort in my seat. I've got a king and queen seat at the moment and would love to see something similar. The engine bars sound interesting too. Hopefully you will review them when they come available.
I have Bonnieville T120 and thinking of the king and queen seat because I sometimes take the misses 2 up and want her to be comfortable, how does your passenger find the seat
@@jackchristodoulou197 My Mrs finds the seat fine. The King and Queen is so much better than the stock seat.
@@jimwoollard8329 thanks for that I have the Triumph comfy seat on now and its not much better than the stock seat
I love that Rattler is also London slang for an old Woman of easy virtue.
Would you take this over a British customs gel seat?
Love this channel one of my favourites now. I love the old crafts and feel of a bygone era. I'm doing my bigger test soon and I'm looking at royal Enfield. But I'm 6.2 are they a bit small for me size wise?
If the Interceptor is a bit small, try the Himalayan. But go with money in your pocket because you will buy it!
I’m 6’1” with long legs, and perfectly comfortable on the 650 twins.
Stuart, as Sky Pilot asks, can you sit on it comfortably for a tank full of gas or will it make you want to get off? The seat does look good but I’m an all day rider.
That looks like a great solid seat. I don't understand why manufacturers seem to leave seats as an afterthought? I use to think it was suspension, but it's seats most of all.
Just when I went out and bought an Airhawk to help my posterior on an upcoming 3000 mile trip.
A fantastic looking upgrade, are you planing on a ' comfort' vid in the the future Stuart?
Stuart you are a motorcycle filmmaking God 😁👍
This seat look gorgeous! Is it also a big improvement in terms of comfort compared to the original one?
Thats my question. I love the look and after 3 whole days of owning my 2019 T120 I KNOW I need a more comfortable seat so the question is....it is more comfortable than the stock bench seat?
I love your videos 👍 I have the brown comfort seat on my new T120 and love it. I have the original too 😊 I took it in for it’s first 500 miles service yesterday. Happy days
Would be awesome if your mate at Motones could make seats for the RE 650 twins as well...Not a big fan of the stock product.
@stuart fillingham - Can you tell me if the seats sits higher or lower than stock? Is the nose narrower? Thanks!
Lower by at least an inch.
@@stuartfillingham - Thank you! Going to order!
@@stuartfillingham - Looks like the discount code no longer works. Will reach out to Motone. Thanks for producing such great content.
many thanks for the update on the seat. this does carry a pillion...doesnt it??
yes.
@@stuartfillingham cool, thanks
Stuart, in your opinion any chance Motone will ever release a seat cowl which would work with this?
Thanks for your thorough reviews, very useful sir!
Ive never heard them mention it but who knows!
Thanks for your reply, Stuart.
Wish interceptor got one like this 😭. ❤️
Who out there has a flyscreen on their Bonneville? How is the buffeting compared to riding with nothing? I love the looks but I'm thinking it may direct the wind right into my face.
If you do like yours, which brand do you use? Dart seems popular and affordable. Same for the Triumph brand.
Thanks.
I use the tallest Dart (9” I think). It takes the wind off my torso making higher speeds more comfortable. I get clean airflow at my helmet. When I travel at highway speed (75 mph) I can tuck behind the screen to reduce drag. Then sit up for some air breaking.
@@johnpenczar9192 Thanks. I think I'm going to try one.
Beautiful design...just to let you know I'm not getting notifications from your channel despite the button being clicked.
Yeah i think You Tube is having some problems. hopefully they will sort it at some time!
@@stuartfillingham As from August 13th TH-cam are no longer sending email notifications! I have spent the last month or so trying to get them reinstated. It would have been nice of them to let everyone know instead of just stopping them.
I wish the seat to my Ural was that easy to swap out.
is that a liquid cooled saddle ?
Can anyone let me know the discount code for motone or how to find it . Thanks
in the video description
I’ve ridden bikes that have good looking seats in the showroom that turned out to be torturously horrible (BMW RT1100’s) and seats that look pretty ordinary (V-Strom 650) that are surprisingly great. Since looks are deceiving, I’ll look forward to a long term ass-on-seat review.
I’d love to see Motone expanding their seat range into the Royal Enfield Interceptor. Perhaps the influence of Uncle Stu could persuade them 😉
Like the seat, will they be doing one for the Triumph Speed Twin?
yes
@@stuartfillingham Great!!!
Hi Stuart. Any idea when the Rattler seat will be available for the Triumph Speed Twin 1200?.....it's been 2 years since I asked about the seat.
Sam needs to make that for the Interceptor.....
I need Motone to outfit my Buell
wow
Personally, I find the stock seat on my T120 to be very comfortable.
never tried the stock seat its in a box somewhere!
@@stuartfillingham How do you like your flyscreen? Is it purely cosmetic, or do you get some wind protection? I'd like to add one to my Bonnie but I'm concerned that it will send the wind to my face rather than the non-directional wind blast I get with a naked bike.
I have to say Stuart, I dislike how with a lot of motorcycles today, including some Triumph models, manufacturers have seen fit to do away with the rear mudguard, and how the addition of a bracket to hold the number plate and rear lights, would seem as if it's an afterthought, as in *"oh yeah we still need that for the bike to be road legal"* . I imagine, that without the guard, a veritable tsunami of water spray would be drenching the underside of the pillion seat area whilst riding in inclement weather. No, give me the styling of the early Triumphs, BSAs, Nortons, and Royal Enfields, that has been recognised enough to have Triumph and Royal Enfield to continue along those lines. Might I add, the 2017/18/19 Honda CB1100 EX is also another, that in my opinion is the epitome of what a motorcycle should look like. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for lots of chrome, lol. Deep down though I'm a Triumph fan, since my first bike was a 1959 Thunderbird, and a few subsequent Triumphs after that, followed by a Yamaha YDS3 in 1967. Incredible torque from a 250cc two stroke, and your own built in London fog, by way of oil smoke from the twin megaphone mufflers. I imagine today, the Police would defect it, as creating an excessive amount of air pollution. Just an old ex biker's observation, and of course do acknowledge and respect others who would hold a different opinion. Cheers mate, love your videos, as they're a treasure trove of handy hints, and in particular, how to maintain your bike looking like new. Ride and stay safe in these uncertain times...
In Triumphs defense David i have to say it is me that's guilty of removing the original mud guards from the T120, and fitting these abbreviated examples!
@@stuartfillingham That's okay, I was mainly thinking of the current crop of Japanese bikes that affect an upswept look, and mufflers at such an up angle as to rival a WW2 mortar canon. Cheers...
dam shame about the gearbox,s id like to hear the latest on that Stuart
Do tell!
Unlike my wallet, I am looking forward to the engine guards. I have the Triumph ones now, as at the time they were the best ones I could find. They won't do much to save the rest of the bike or the rider's legs in an "unplanned gravity assisted event" however.
I've ridden Harley's for a long time, and the guards, both from H-D and any number of 3rd parties, are far larger in the critical dimension to help preserve the bike, and the rider's legs, as much as possible.
nice saddle, but what about the passenger ? is it comfortable for her? Have a Speed Twin , unfortunately , with no grab rail and a hard seat....and since then she wants to divorce :)
Motone base and foam is a bargain, what a good idea, it's almost enough to make me want a Bonnie!
Great video, but I have to say: Is the music necessary?
Yes it is, I like the music and its my video!
@@stuartfillingham I meant no offence, i simply prefer to hear your voice. As you say it's your video. Keep up the great content it is appreciated.
@@barryroberts2474 LOL no offence taken i have explained to reason for music overlay in the past!
...yes, yes, yes... but does it rattle?
only if you don't fasten it down properly!
stuart fillingham - just reviewed your video on the Bonnieville gearbox issues. Timely, as I was considering a T100/T120... about to book a test ride. While I take the pi55 I wanted to doff my cap at you for sharing this issue. A magnificent use of your channel, championing the cause of owners. Gods speed to you Mr F.
Not impressed
