Single seat conversion
Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2025 1:12 am
Hi all,
I realise that a number of people buy ex-authority bikes (police/paramedic) and convert them to 2 seat "civilian" spec. Strangely, I would like to do the opposite. I have a '22 R1250RT and would like to replace the pillion seat (which I don't use) with the single seat "hump". I have found on previous bikes (Honda ST1100's and ST1300's) that the hump helped support my back. However, I do want to keep the full size panniers of the "civilian" bikes hence not buying an ex-authority bike myself.
Does anyone in the UK have the single seat parts they are willing to sell?
