Just on the off-chance...!

The RS which I'm currently waiting for is going to come fitted with the "Low" seat (p/n 52 53 8 534 316). Is there anyone out there with a standard seat, and who might like to be a bit nearer the road, who fancies doing a straight swap?

In the UK... please PM me if interested

I won't do a swap, but I have a normal height seat (52 53 8 534 318) available since I bought a Wunderlich seat recently.

Also, I live in the Netherlands, so some postage costs would apply. But in case nobody else offers a swap, just let me know if interested...

How much lower is it? My 5'3" wife is on tippy toes when she rides my bike instead of her Duc Monster.

How much lower is it?

Hi Adam
It's 790mm according to BMW; whereas apparently the standard one is 820mm. Would definitely be up for a swap if you are, and it looks like I'm not far from you - if so, PM me!

(FYI I am one and the same "Deleted User" who's the OP on this thread... I had a problem accessing my account, so the forum admin had to delete it and have me open a new one...)

I'm now using the 790 seat and find it more comfortable than the 820. I don't suffer from short legs, the low seat is just ..... more arse shaped!!

I'll sit her on the bike with a couple of 30mm bits of wood under her feet and see how she gets on

If you are still on the lookout for an 820 seat let me know, I might be persuaded to sell mine. I'm more than happy with the 790 job.
