buy and sell » Tall Sport to Normal Seat Swap

I have a tall sport seat and want to swap to a normal (standard seat). My seat is in excellent condition with no sign of wear.

Bike is R1200RS in case there's any difference in design on the 1250RS and I'm located just west of London, UK

HeatX,

FYI the seats on the 1200 and 1250 are identical.

You may be lucky in your quest but I suggest that you are more likely to succeed if you make it two transactions:

(i) Purchase of an 820mm then
(ii) Sale of your 840mm

I started out with an 840mm. I bought the bike lightly used and did not clock the seat height until riding home! I bought an 820 mmm via this site (Thank you Pete!). I still have both. Having ESA it was less of an issue than it might otherwise have been. I have now dropped the pegs and use the 820mm only. I find the bike is at its best with the arse end in the air so the 820mm now works nicely for me.

Thanks Chris, I thought I'd float the idea in case there's any appetite to swap

Hi Orson, is it the 820mm seat and do you have any pictures?

We can "buy" one another's seat through Paypal, send via tracked shipment and refund once the items arrive. As for shipping costs, I think the most practical way is cover that at our own cost

I'm afraid that I owe you an apology. Unfortunately, I had assumed that my bike came with a normal seat but, when I did a Google search of Part # 52 53 8 534 318, I discovered that I already have a tall saddle! D'oh!

Also, the sticker under the Italian-made seat reads ALTO so, that's another hint.

Once again, please accept my apologies.

Orson, if you have the tall seat and ideally would like to go taller, I can recommend an inflatable seat cushion such as the Tourtec seat. I have one and it helps with my 34” inside seam ( and a stiff hip).

Thanks for the tip!

The Sport seat is Highest. Rider's saddle 'Sport' 840MM 77348555886. Driver's seat, black, high 820MM 52538534318
Driver's seat 790MM 52538534316. Driver's seat low 760MM 52538534317

Hope these part numbers are of some use. They are all common to R1200R -- R1200RS -- R1250R -- and R1250RS.

I've just bought a 1200RS with a standard seat, and want the sport seat, so is this still available?
