BTW, which seat do you prefer?

---

Me or Paul?

FWIW, I find the stock, standard seat to be not terrible, but not great after 100 miles. I actually tried the Wunderlich tall seat at one point but I wasn't completely sold on it so I returned it. I also felt like I didn't give it enough of a chance and when this one showed up for sale here, I decided to give it another, longer try.

The price was good so I'll just resell it if I decide I don't like it. I won't really know until winter is over and I can get out for a longer ride.

Well, come Spring, if I'm not happy with what appears to be a Wunderlich Standard (middle) seat, perhaps we should meet in Schenectady, NY and discuss options.

If you can go a bit further, there's the motorcycle museum in CT as a destination.

Height aside, I tend to think one of the seats you have will be the best available and if they don't work, maybe add one of the pads. There's also a question of break in and I didn't have the previous Wunderlich for long enough to do that.

You mean the Indian Museum in Springfield? The old "staffer" was an ex-company secretary and always concerned that the visitors would steal technology. Back in the 1990s, she was on the look-out for any Japanese spies......

Relative to the Wunderlich seats breaking in...........the one I have seems pretty firm and I wouldn't expect much change.

Everyone's butt is different. I kept the stock/standard seat on my '16 RS the entire time I had it, doing up up 600 miles in a day with no real problems. The stock/standard seat on my '17 started to cause me pains pretty early. They are supposedly identical. I went with a Sargent "high" seat after that and have no complaints after it has been "broken in". Can't explain that. On my last trip, I was using an Air Hawk on the Sargent and it was really bothering me. Took the Air Hawk off and the Sargent by itself was just fine on a 600 mile day. YMMV.

The tall Wunderlich seat has a flat profile and height, much like the BMW Sport seat, in your picture. I'm thinking you've purchased the standard, not the low.

On top of that, the part number imprinted on the seat pan is just that.............the part number for the seat pan, so all five (5) seat variants have the same part number stamped on the base. At some point, there may have been a sticker, but that's soon gone with any riding time.

Ok, I got the Wunderlich standard seat (thumbs up for Mta1981).

My bike is at the dealer so I got measurements with it sitting flat on my workbench. I used a combination square to get two measurements. I can get more if you want and post pics if necessary.

At the bottom of the dished portion, I got 4" off the botton (so 4" up from my bench to the bottom of the dish). At the front middle (so where it would hit the rear most of the tank), I got 7 3/8" off my bench.

Looking at your pics, I think you have the standard height.

Many months later, I finally got a ride in of my eBay purchase...........The Wunderlich seat is nicely firm and positions me slightly higher than the Sargent Tall seat. An additional benefit of the firmness is a relative ease to slide or roll the butt to either side while riding turns. In other words, it's got the desired benefits of the BMW Sport Seat while offering more support to the outsides of your hips.

Not bad for $108

Hi, something of interest i just happen to come across. R&G do a wild ass cushion. Pricey but maybe just what you need if you can get over the look lol

Apologies not sure what I pressed but it wasn't meant to say I didn't like the post. Think my fat fingers must of got in the way
