I'm using the Thruxton seat on my T100. Sits more level then the others I've seen. I just put in a >400 mile weekend and it worked great for me.
King and Queen
I hated the stock seat. I tried the gel seat but it was even lower than the stock seat and at 6' 2" I don't need a lower seat. I finally decided to try the Triumph King and Queen, even though it's not traditional looking.
Wow! I love this seat. Most especially, my butt loves this seat. It makes my '08 T100 feel like a new (and better) bike. I feel much more solidly planted in that wide saddle.
I also added the Dart Flyscreen and I'm super happy with it, too. When I got the bike I was pretty fatigued after an hour of riding. Now I lose track of time.
The photo is not of my bike, but it's a good image of the seat.

Scrambler seat on T100
Hi!
I want to change the looks a bit and I´ve tried to figure it out from checking around on the forum but I´m not sure how it is.
Will a Scrambler seat fit my -05 carbed T100? If so are there differencies between years and EFI vs. carb?

KofF,
Did you increase the foam thickness/height of your SE seat?
Can you explain what Spencer did?...any pics?
Thanks.

Great Day does not add or subtract any height. He uses a few different density foams and adds a gel type pad under the foam-not under your butt. Then reattaches the cover. The shape, while not different to the eye, is perfect. And all day comfy-liike I said, I now have 4 and they rock.
It's all on his site. As for pics-you can hardly tell it's modded by looking. You would need two seats side by side to notice. Looks stock-feels custom.

Here is my new seat. It's the stock seat modified by a local guy for little money. Pretty stoked.
Would you be willing to share contact information and cost? I have a spare seat sitting on my shelf collecting dust.
He charged me $135, which was odd because he charged my buddy $180 to do his CB550 seat, so I'm not sure if the Triumph seat was easier to work with or what. He's an old Harley guy that has an auto upholstery shop in Cleveland. Obviously there would be shipping charges involved if you can't go to his shop.
E-mail me for his contact info.

I own a 2010 Bonneville T100 (with new LCD odometer).
The OEM seat is similar to the scrambler seat.
I feel it very inconfortable even on commuting rides (about 25 kms, 2 times per day).
So, I replace it with the DS003 seat from Burton Bikes Bits :
- look is very enhanced
- confort is very enhanced : in my taste, confort is just like a motorcycle seat must be.
Here is two before / after pictures :
Before with OEM seat ("scrambler" seat) :
After with the DS003 seat from Burton :

Nice looking bike and seat looks real good too.
Is that a Triumphs seat?
I've seen the same seat with and without white piping.
Do they come with or without or is the one with white piping newer model?
I've been thinking to buy one to my black SE but would prefer without piping.

Piping
There are two versions of the seat one w/white and one w/black piping.
