Yet Another Seat

[Winger]

Seats are such a personal thing,theirs another thread on this site about how I bought my XR new, never had the stocker and started with the HP version and didn’t get on with that either,and sold it, I sit on a bike not in it, even more so with the XR, what makes things worse…..finding the solution costs.

We were out today and saw a Gen2 parked up Jeeze to me it was like a chopper with its low seat and high bars but it obviously worked for him.

Hence why the seat in the photo turned up it was jus bought on a whim and when we unwrapped it thought ‘Here’s another one’ dropped it on the bike and bingo  ,the rearsets where just the iceing on the cake.

With hindsight what would I recommend?? Have a board meet with folk who have various seats and try them on yours,the cost of coffee and cake way cheaper,dread to think how much it cost before I oops sorry we got the right one even allowing for what we recovered selling what we didn’t like.

I have the regular Wunderlich Aktivkomfort seat and am wondering whether the high seat would be better for me. The regular seat is relatively comfortable but I’d like a little more legroom (it seems the M sport pegs lift your feet up slightly so the combination doesn’t work) and as I have the lowered suspension model I think I can manage a taller seat. Does anyone have experience of trying both seats? I’ve seen the other thread with pics from Wunderlich showing both and the high seat seems less of a bucket, but I’m loathed to spend £470 only to find out it’s horrible (yes, I know seats are a personal thing and yes I could return it, but it’s worth asking for opinions first!)

Great price especially if you're in Europe!

I sent my standard gen 2 seat to elsemade to have modified.
Been using it for a couple of months now and it’s pretty good, got gel and comfort foam in it.
Longest trip I’ve done in a day was 350 miles and arse was happy.
I was using an airhawk pad with standard seat previously, not had to use it at all since mods.

Went for a carbon look cover with M sport logo, so overall I’m v pleased with it👍

That's a good looking bike.

Thank you.
Best bike I’ve ever owned, bought it used with 300 miles on it.

Has anyone tried a Bagster seat?

This seat issue really peeves me off, the price we pay for these bikes and they cant be 'arsed' to get the basics right.

I ride with armoured jeans normally and have done on various bikes with no issues. i continued with my 21 plate XR and as everyone else found it really uncomfortable after a small number of hours.

After much searching for answers i read somewhere only a month or 2 ago, that wearing leathers makes a difference which i found hard to believe, but....my god it does, i can ride way much further and suffer no issues after a day in the saddle !!??

Just saying
