I bought a 2020 RS last january with 6000 miles. I like it alot but even with the Wunderlich active comfort (low) seat. The Wunderlich is 2-3 hour seat, but I need to make it more comfortable so I can make this an all day ride. (ideas? airhawk or?)

I also ride a Ducati M900 and a BMW R1200RT (an incredible ride, Ive put over 140,000 miles on it from new).

I bought a Sargent seat off of another R/RS owner. Much better than stock, but for long (all day or multi day) trips, I have an Airhawk seat cushion I add to help.

Hi and welcome,

I use an airhawk on long trips. For normal day to day stuff I use the standard 820mm seat then for long trips I use a 790mm seat and an airhawk.

I have the bmw 'sport seat' but it is just a taller padded unit, why it is not called a 'tall seat' I have no idea.

It gives improved leg room and all day comfort including some long days riding across europe.

As you can see it has a flat profile so moving back and forth is easy for a position change as you ride.

Standard screen is in 'lower setting' but screen itself is fitted in the higher pre-drilled holes which I find a good position, I like to feel the ride and nothing in my eyeline.

Thought I would include the shot with my 2015 RS, same as my replacement 2017 model alongside a USA import to south Devon, Slapton sands memorial.

Welcome from Creston.
The HP pieces and carbon coil cover looks nice.
Is your Wunderlich seat the standard height or low?

Welcome. I use an Airhawk on mine, all day comfortable with that, tend to use it on all rides over an hour or two. Have used the same Airhawk on my last 3 bikes over 6-7 years, very durable.

Good morning Creston, the wunderlich seat is a low. It is a beautiful thing, and way more comfortable than the stock seat which I also have. I hate to think of opening the wunder up and adding some jell, since it looks so cool.

I love the Sargent seats!! I, have one on my RT and it is an all day saddle. Most recent long ride to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia trip (with side trip to NC and TN) last august over 7000 miles, 850 on the last day. Maybe I should just stop whining about the price of a new Sargent and bite the bullet. Thank you for your input!!
