Triboseat Cover Review

September 21st, 2008

One of the problems with the Buell XB range of bikes is their small, I mean really small pillion seat. For me its not a big problem because my son is the only passenger I take out on the bike on a regular basis. Even though he’s only small I still feel that he’s a bit exposed perched on the back of the bike so I went out and purchased a Triboseat cover. This is a rubbery cover that fits over the pillion seat and ties up underneath the seat.

The idea of such a cover is that it makes the saddle to arse patch super grippy and therefore reduces the chances of said arse slipping around when on the bike. It really does work. These covers only cost approx £10 GBP and are worth every penny.

Fitting is easy and should only take a few minutes. In my case all I had to do was remove the saddle turn it upside down. Remove the grab strip from the bike by removing the two fixing screws from underneath the saddle. The cover then fits over the saddle and is tied off with the draw strings to another part of the saddle. I was also able to fix the ends of the string back under the grab strip securing bolts. I would recommend that you re-adjust the cover after a few ride outs to make sure its well secured.
