I have a Sports seat and would ideally like in another 2-3cm taller to relieve a bad hip that objects to the amount of flex needed. What sort of cost is involved in a seat buildup by these guys?

---

I would love to try the tallest seat out as mine is too low for my 32-33" leg. Fancy a trade? lol Not quite sure which mine is however haha.

Also mine is a 1200 , don´t know if that makes a difference?

OK, I dug out my OEM seat and it is a “318”. Mint. Under 2,000 miles use.

Please form an orderly queue. Face masks are not mandatory.

Send a PM if you’re serious and we’ll talk turkey.

I know nothing about http://cmseats.co.uk/ but I'm reliably informed that for the dog's bollocks of motorcycle seat reupholstering you need to go to https://tonyarcher.co.uk/services/bike-seats/ in Huddersfield. No personal connection or even experience, but apparently their work is brilliant

I had an Archer seat on my Super Tenere. It was good.

Digger in Newport, S.Wales is good too http://www.diggerseats.co.uk/Home.html

I was looking for an 820mm seat recently but nobody was able to help. I have the 760mm seat and am getting it built up by Ross from CMSEATS.CO.UK next week so I’ll update on results when done.

---

That’s interesting, I have a Sports seat and would ideally like in another 2-3cm taller to relieve a bad hip that objects to the amount of flex needed. What sort of cost is involved in a seat buildup by these guys? Would be very interested to hear how satisfied you are with their work once completed and tested.

This is a reply concerning the crowned nature of the Sport option seat and my mods: Here's a few pics. Included the profile of my Standard High option seat for comparison. All other shots are the Sport seat. Nothing extreme and, at least for my situation, hasn't really affected the side to side transitions as the extra height was the main benefit for me. Easier to weight the pegs with more seat to peg distance. The only step I skipped was the thin layer of "smoothing" foam over the mods. This is often used when installing a gel insert and gives a more professional look. A reputable cycle seat specialist could easily return it back to normal, if need be. Good luck on your search!
BTW, the first shot isn't the finished product. It was smoothed out with a rotary sander before recovering

I’m sure someone can chime in on the proper terminology for the foam. Luimoto has it on there site, I think. Orbital sander would have been the better option, but I was using what I already had, a rotary, with a fairly aggressive sanding head...and a light touch :-)

If you have only just bought the bike don't forget to check if the advert specified a particular seat. Waiting for the dealer to sort mine out after it went from high in the advert pics to low on delivery. Pity I didn't have my newly acquired seat knowledge on my very short test ride. bike orig seat.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)seat hight.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Bagster offer an upgrade on their seats to use Bultex foam https://recticelflexiblefoams.com/seatin...rt-bultexr.html

Seems to be popular for sofas & mattresses and is a type of memory foam.

The seat I had on my Tracer was very good.
