If changing the seat on a Bonneville T100/120, Street Twin, Speed Twin, Street Scrambler or Street Cup you might want to consider the various fender eliminator bracket options offered.

I am not aware of any other companies offering these options. It seems like a one size fits all. And with some creative camera angles on their web sites the problem is solved.

Bonneville T100/120, Street Twin, Street Scrambler and Street Cup share the same sub frame. So the fender eliminators are all compatible.

The L/H row of pictures show from top to bottom

1/ Bonneville FEK bracket.

2/ St. Twin/Scrambler FEK bracket.

3/ St.Cup FEK bracket.

As you will note the drop of the bracket decreases. The same bench seat is used in all 3 pictures as it exposes the fame.

The R/H row of pictures show the fit of the bracket opposite with the stock seat.

Maund Speed FEK's are designed to fit the designated model with the stock seat on a modern classic. If you are using a custom seat you will see below, that it is best selecting a FEK to suit the seat.

1/ Stock Bonneville seats have a deeper rim around seat which requires a lower mounting FEK bracket. (Top two pictures)

2/ Street Scrambler /Street Twin seats have a shallower rim that just cover sub frame tubes.

3/ Street Cup seat has no rim and exposes the sub frame tubes. (bottom two pictures)

So if you are changing a stock seat for a bench or cafe seat that exposes sub frame tubes, consider a Street Scrambler or Street cup FEK depending on height seat sits on frame.

Keep in mind, fender eliminator kits are categorized by name to fit with stock seat.
