C5 Chrome factory seat color and matching pillion

[asinghji]

I just ordered my 2013 C5 Black Chrome. I noticed the factory installed solo seat color is not black or tan. What color is it? The main reason I am asking is to find out if there is a matching color pillion seat/pad offered by Enfield. The dealer is saying there is no matching color pillion, so I will have to just replace the solo seat with black or tan to get matching pillion. Please advise.

thanks

Have a shop recover it to match.   ERC

I'd suggest checking with Jo at Hitchcocks Motorcycles in England (just fill out the enquiries form and she'll reply) before you accept the assertion that there's no matching factory pillion. They seem to have by far the world's best view of the Enfield parts universe.

thanks ERC and Rich for ideas. I prefer not to re-cover it. I have submitted my question to Hitchcocks Motorcycles. I will share with you what I find.

I am not sure where you are. This is an OEM part and I would suggest that you call Tim at CMW 800-201-7472 if you are from the US. He can tell you with certainty whether such a part number exists. Hitchcocks is a great company but do not have the same access to the factory parts. Tim should be able to give you a part number (that is the hard part) which will really help you.

The part number for the black & chrome or maroon & chrome pillion seat is 593129. Any dealer can order it for you with that number.

The other C5 pillion variations are:

Black-597447
Teal-597448
Maroon-597449
Military-597482
Desert Storm-591524

Got reply from Hitchcocks Motorcycles, they are unable to help, as they weren't aware of this seat color difference on chrome C5 models. I am located in Chicago, IL. I will give Tim a call to find out about my options. Thanks all.

So yea, pillion is infact available in matching brown color. My dealer was able to get it for me.
