Does anyone know if the rear cover on the 1300p that replaces the rear seat will fit on any 1300. Kinda like the look.

Thanks. I like the look of the smuggler but a little to pricey for me at $800:00.

Re: Replacing rear seat.
I was hoping it would be a simple bolt on that you could switch back and forth but looking at the pictures doesn't appear to be the case. Thanks for your help.

I have actually considered using the rear seat pan and manufacture something like that myself .

like removing the padding and attaching a bag like this to the pan to give it a countersunk streamlined look .

Re: Replacing rear seat.
With the UK version, it's a simple bolt-on. The cowls are slightly different too (the mounting holes are in different positions) but you could adapt a US cowl to fit a UK cowl plate. The seat latch mechanism needs a slight modification too.
The plate is stainless steel and rather heavy. I have a spare one, and the seat latch parts, but I bet shipping would be hefty.

Depending on what’s there... that UK set up is sweet! The NA police and civilian version has a different tail frame section. The police seats have a different rear catch. The civilian rear seat clips into the front civilian seat catch. So there are a couple of choices.
Easiest one is to buy the rear civilian frame section. Take off yours replace with the other. About 10 bolts and a few bracket bolts. Then install the cable and latch for rear seat. Lastly you need the bracket for the rear of the front seat to nestle the rear into. I did mine last week it took about 2 hours.
Other choose is a grinder and some ingenuity. YouTube...

If you haven’t resolved this yet... Corbin has the dual canyon. On their site they give instructions to install catch and cable and install their seat. Brilliant!
