- In this weeks episode Jody and Alex take a look behind the design and show how we engineered our custom passenger seat.
It's not the destination, it's how you get there and who you get there with. A tough design process using carefully selected alloys aligned with a thorough 3 week stress test analysis and we finally have ourselves the perfect touring touring bike ready for you and a passenger!

£4000+?!! Holy hell... It's almost half the price of the bike! I mean, it's a beautiful piece and I'm sure a lot of time and effort went into that development and all. But that price tag is insane!
I would buy it for 90% off, thats a reasonable price
That's the result for one of one product. Mass production will cut it like 70%
Right!? Triumph should have this solution on their accessories list for the Bobber, it would 'solve' the cost issue.
Now the solo seat is the only reason I'm not considering the Bobber as my next motorcycle.
i agree 100%
$10k Aussie dollar. Ridiculous.
Beautiful design and solution. Price puts this product well into the No category.
Engineering + safety + design (including the unseen parts) are what make the work you do par excellence. Dreaming to have a work of art from you one day.
This is great, would be awesome to have a small bag rack that you could snap on if you weren’t carrying a pillion all the time.
There are definitely options we’re looking into
As an engineer and biker myself I love to see the engineering and design that goes into these bespoke builds, hope you guys patent your parts? Another great video 🇬🇧👊🏾.
Thanks Gary means a lot mate 💪🏼
Best bobber I have ever seen with a passenger seat on the back nice nice nice...
Very clever piece of engineering, looks as good if not better than factory, should be a big seller 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
great explanation on the design and thinking behind the seat. hope you've applied for the patents :)
Thank you 😊
First off the design is absolutely wonderful. What would your thoughts be on adding a sissy bar to the very back? Something that would be old school looking, obviously to suit the look of the bobber. Obviously having it be bolt on so it could be removed if thebrider wanted to.
I'll admit when you said pillion seat I was a bit mehhhh.... BUT THAT LOOKS TRICK!!!! amazing job as always and its great seeing the work that goes into it. Love how transparent you are as a company showing the design process etc.
Much appreciated mate 🙌🏼
That‘s amazing! A bobber with an awesome looking pillion seat, makes me think about one! I can‘t wait to see what you‘re going to do with these magnets.
Hey Jody & Alex, this is an awesome effort and great way to show the engineering know how that you guys are putting into the tolerances of the parts you are creating. I am 100% showing this vid to my A level design students, that and the one on the sat nav mounting. Loving the backflip test, reminds me of the Mous case series of ‘real world’ testing - great to get people noticing stuff before then explaining the more technical analysis. I love geeking out on this stuff. I know it takes a while to pull all this sort of stuff together, but would love even more detail. I hope Triumph and the Bloor guys do recognise the work for your sake and I think regardless of people’s individual opinions on aesthetics of a bobber as a solo ride, we all want to take our customised motorcycles in new directions and you guys deserve all the support you can get. If I wasn’t a poor teacher I’d so be having one of your rides! But will get the bits I can afford in the meantime. Cheers and keep up the hard work.
Thank you Russell, really appreciate the feedback and glad you like the video, hope your students get as much out of it as you do 😊
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles any plans on Mass production of the passenger seat guys???
I have to say, that's an amazing bit of work. Well done
This is such a great idea, it solves what (for me) was one of the main styling issues on the stock Bobber! Will this be available in the U.S.?
I don't even own a Triumph, but always enjoy watching the channel. It's the designing of products like this that make it so interesting. The seat unit alone is a fantastic idea and the fact that you are already looking at uses beyond that speaks volumes. Looks better than OEM and should be a big seller for you worldwide.
Thanks mate appreciate it 👍🏼
this is an absolute game changer for me...been going back and forth between the bobber and speedmaster and the passenger seat was a big deal to me cause I have kids that like to take trips around the neighborhood, I've always liked the bobber better but kids am i right lol. Keep up the great works guys!!
This type of engineering is what is sorting the men from the boys ... excellent work chaps ...
Thanks mate 💪🏼
my like goes personally to Alex. Well done, mate )
That seat is most definitely one of the best and the most functional seats I have ever seen.
We try our best 🤘🏼
Motolove! Love my own Kawasaki. Always putting up the good stuff like Delta Parole, Metallica, Alice In Chains and others when I am working on her. Moto is life
what has been changed to support the additional weight? The bobber can handle 125kg orinaly.
Amazing looking product. Seeing as it doesn't attach on/off, I think my preference would be to opt for the Speedmaster. I can see why safety means having it detachable is an issue, but.. Personally i'd only want to use it occasionally. If this was safe and detachable i'd be honestly throwing my wallet at you. That said, it's a joy to watch your innovation.
Where can I find this speed master?
@@joaomiguelschmidt6598 from Triumph
PLEASE show an install/removal.. Is it difficult to go back and forth to single rider vs 2up?
A very smart solution
This is an absolutely stunning piece of engineering. This is my dream bike and I love absolutely everything about it except for it not having an option for being able to tag along my wife or son - on mostly city rides. I would have half-heartedly purchased another bike just for this reason, but this gives me hope! Beautiful.
Do you imagine this to be the kind of part that can be shipped over and installed at any garage?
A new dimension for the Bobber. Well done!
Thanks 😊
Could not ask for anything better! 😎
That’s what we want 💪🏼
Wonderful! Looks even better than without! ...makes me want a Bobber!
Get one! They’re sick
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles Bloody hell, I have to try one!😁
This seals it for me… Iam getting the bobber 🤘 … Iam so glad I discovered this channel (:
Finally there it is
When you customise the single sit bike I always wish if there is double sit, now there it is 😀😍😍
Thornton hundred, making dreams come true
Now that called a real engineering design . 🔥
Absolutely!
Switching from a 900 Street Twin to a Bobber this week and I wasn't fully happy for the passanger option... Until I saw your content guys. This is full of high level work and I'm praying that you sort out a way to factor this part. I'm going to keep eyes on you as I'm 100% ordering this back seat option.
Love from Switzerland
One reason I bought a speedmaster last week as there is no pillion option, if this was more then a 1 off piece and had a sleek sissy bar setup would be even more awesome.
This bike looks awesome love the seat and the potential for options luggage rack etc
Thanks mate 🙌🏼
Cool thing for cool motocicle. It need some back extension, I mean small back extension.
Love the fact that these guys built a proper quality rear seat.
My question though is WHY?
You could get a speedmaster instead of the bobber if you need the pillion seat.
Is this part going to be available to purchase? I think that this is an absolute game changer if so as I’ve always loved the design of the bobber but the thought of no space to stick your camping equipment to go on adventures with had always put me off getting one!
We’re looking into ways of manufacturing them at a lower cost, keep your eyes out 👀
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles -No offence to anybody here, the engineering from TH is excellent, but Triumph already does this. It's called the Speedmaster.
@@BobberRider The Speedmaster is a fully dressed cruiser. The TH seat is a uniquely styled purpose built functional accessory. Probably it’s most realistic use will be for storage.
@@BobberRider I like this much more than speedmaster.
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles eyes are out and wide openned )
When will it be available for purchase? And will it be able to send to the US?
Brilliant mind 👏👏👏 I love the artistic looks of this built👍👍
Glad you like it!
That looks great.
Thank you so much!
Awesome, well done guyz
Thank you 😊
👏👏👏 That's amazing work. How can we order one of those?
Yes I agree I live in the US n would love to have a passenger seat. Also would you recommend swapping suspension as well?
How can I order one of this
How can we order??
I want to know about purchasing this as well..
Same here I need one
Absolutely amazing!
Would absolutely LOVE to get my hands on this! when will you guys start offering it for sale?
hopefully they could sell and mass produce this or maybe an updated version soon
Can’t wait!
Love the paint job
I have a street twin on order, but this makes me want to get a bobber! Brilliant.
Awesome, we’re actually working on some parts for the street twin so you’re all set 😜
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles nice! I’ll keep an eye out. If you need a beta tester, :-)
Design & aesthetics. Lovely piece of engineering. Maybe look at price though at sometime and a nice backflip to sell it! 😅
Love your work man ! , From India
Appreciate it 😋
That’s really cool lads. Well done.
We do try 😜
Wow, wanna see the riding scene in this bike!
We’ll have to shoot some more riding shots soon
If you guys could do seat designs for other models you'd make an absolute killing! Please do a comfort seat for BMW s1000r 2019 & above model. Cheers.
Imagine driving one of this in colorado
Absolutely love this bike 😍 it was my inspiration for buying my first Triumph Barber. Any chance I could get the color code?
I want to buy this for my bobber!!! i live in the U.S.
You guys should definitely call triump and ask them if they want a collaboration😮 for arround 1 - 2k this would sell extremely fast.
great!
Rear seat with back support would be awesome!
woooooow so much cool bro.
For sure!
Great design! What if you made it so a sissy bar could be bolted onto the very back. Something old school looking to suit the look of the bobber. Also that it could be removable.
Very professional... Two thumbs up
👍🏼👍🏼
Very very very very very very very very very cool
Thanks for the video
Hey guys, great job! You guys are awesome. Where can i buy it?
New challenge for you, to create a "mobile Passenger seat". I mean that i can put in ON and OFF easy.
Suturday drive alone and Sunday drive with my Queen :D
That would be a masterpiece off britisch engineering!
Now start selling them on your website!
Excellent design, when will it be available for purchase?
This is absolutely awesome guys! 😎👍🏻
Thanks Sebastian 🤘🏼
Bike looks rebel and amazing 👍
Foldable will be great .
Started watching your content this week liking how you built these bikes something I would ride on a daily not too crazy just right👌
Thanks mate glad to have you on bored
Well done!
Hope to see you guys tackle the Rocket 3R and come up with new options, that would be cool. Love my 🚀 💪
Nice bike gorgeous color
Fantastic piece of kit , will you be mass producing? I’d definitely buy one for my bobber 👍👍
I like the "Engineering came first.....if someone comes off they could lose their life" followed by "I think you should do a flip off the back" LoL. Good to see the use of proper engineering design incorporating the aesthetic design to get a great product. Would have preferred to see a removable system, along with removable pillion pegs so that you can maintain that classic bobber look but have the flexibility to pop a pillion on. Maybe a future iteration? Definitely looking at a bobber next bike
Thanks for the input, something we have thought about designing!
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles I'm sure you guys could come up with a two-piece system that would look great both when single and pillion fitted. A single seat with this type of capability would also be perfect for adding accessories that would help with longer distance riding too that can be removed at destination leaving the superb lines of the bobber.
Very cool.
Give me this bike.
If you want a similar build, email us!
Another great mod from you fellas. Awesome!
Thanks! ☺️
@@ThorntonHundredMotorcycles will these be available to the public
great design guys. is there a foot rest for the passenger though?
Hi guys! Thx for the video) Could you tell us more about bags and holder on this bike? Looks awesome!
I want to build a bike with you guys so bad
Do it! ;)
Thats SIK!
Love that!!! You've just made the bobber a bike I now want because the wife can ride with me! Also I want a beanie. Do you keep them in stock at the yard if I was to collect? Cheers, Rob
Makes a neat mudguard too...
Absoulutely damn good bro 👍👍
Nice work guys. It does look decisively more solid than the Thai & Vietnamese shops that came up with similar.
Just a question regarding design styles. Do you think you would try another version that could also utilise the bracket just maybe with a slight modification? Similar to a dual solo seat in tandem. Something that would be more substantial, something that would be more fitting unfortunately to the size gluteus that today’s women sport. It just would be nice to see a CAD or a render of that to see if it kept the overall look of the original.
The wheel arch looks a little large/strange maybe due to the camera angles. But it gives a slight sport bike esque look to the profile with the new pillion seat.
Also, will these be available via your store as a kit? That international customers could purchase?
I think your slogan should be "That's Sick" 😎
Man I wish these guys would work their creative magic on a Royal Enfield interceptor 650 or Continental got 650
awesome designn= guys top work Removable version next/ /:)
What about a cowl hinged on the rear to flip up as a backrest and reveals the seat underneath?
Saludos desde mexico, que idea tan increible y comoda para salir con tu chica 😎
awesome work bro i wish i could do that too
Super cool. Really great design! What side bag do you have on this bike? Do you sell/fit them?
guys keep up the good stuff
Will do chap 👍🏼
Awesome
Is this for sale???? I’ve been looking for a good passenger seat!
Hey guys, love the seat you designed. Am looking forward to see what luggage rack option you come up with. I do have a question about the tires you used on that particular bike. What tires are they and would they be available in the correct size for my Bobber Black? Can't wait to add some of your bespoke ideas to my Bobber. Cheers
Finally!!!
Where can I get bags like those?
Is it just me that thinks this makes the bobber look better..... wouldn't have considered a bobber until seeing this. Triumph should work with you guys to have this as a factory option.
Harley could learn from that seat. Magnets are a great idea
What has Triumph had to say about your mount? We’re they impressed? Do they support it? Will they honor the warranty if one uses this? Will they offer this as an accessory on their website?
Have you needed to put a stiffer spring on the rear shock to compensate for the additional weight of a passenger?
We changed it to a Speed master shock to support the right carrying capacity 👍🏼
hi guys, you already this under production? how can i get one? i went to website but could not find it. thanks
Hi Jose, we currently do not offer the passenger seat on our website. Sorry for the inconvenience.
