ebay is a wonderful thing, at times. The other week, a Wunderlich seat appeared on my daily search notice for used R1200RS or R1200R parts. The seller had it listed as an auction item, the price was very good, and the auction was ending in a few hours. No time to ask questions. So, I placed a bid assuming I would be outbid or really lucky. Well, perhaps, I should have bought a Lotto ticket at the time, but I was the winning bidder. Old Forum Orphan |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #1 But does the Wunderlich seat definitely come in three heights, like the OEM item? If not, isn't it completely arbitrary which OEM seat it happens to be closest to, and does it actually matter?

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #6 That's what I was hoping for................. Thank you. What is your current seat? Old Forum Orphan |

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. |

You know, somewhere there's a special BMW employee that decided to call the R1200R stock seat (the R1200RS low seat) standard, while also calling the R1200RS (R1200R Tall seat) seat standard for the R1200RS. 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.

You're not wrong. A couple of years ago, a group of us stopped by the Wunderlich store in NC. I had a chance to sample the Wunderlich standard and high seat on my '16 RS. I'm sure you'll get a certain confirmation on what you purchased. Definitely not the tall option, though.
Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #8 I'm hoping that's the case. From the eBay pics, I doubted it was the tall model. I'm guessing this has to be similar to the mail-order bride experience from the groom's perspective. "Is this what I thought I was ordering?"

BTW, which seat do you prefer? |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #7Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #6 I currently have the standard, stock seat. I'll reply back when I have it and we can talk about what exact measurements make sense. Unfortunately, my bike is at the dealer getting the yearly service. I hope I'll be getting it back later this week. 2020 R1250RS |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #14Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #12 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.
