Hello all, I've got a 21 RS with the stock seat and I was looking for direction on all the aftermarket seat options. I've got the standard seat, but I was looking for something lower and wider for more support. Any suggestions or options to steer clear from?

If you want something more bespoke then find a local upholsterer. I am in the UK and we have several companies offering this service.

I was thinking something more off the shelf, I just don't know what all is out there.

Zitat von Chris216 im Beitrag #6 The Sargent seat is my favorite off-the-shelf replacement seat for the RS. I have been sitting on one for the past 5 years and have been very happy with both its comfort, build quality and durability. The seat's base is better designed and manufactured than the BMW seat pan, in my opinion. Plus, my seat came with a free LED flashlight stored in a compartment attached to the underside of the seat pan. I think that you will find that the standard height seat is comparable in height to the BMW low seat for the RS.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #8 I had a Sargent seat on my K1300S and Debbie had one on her K1300S and K1200RS. Like you, we were very happy with the comfort and quality. The Sargent pan has a OEM look. The Corbin pan looks like something made in a garage. Lee |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #9Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #8 And the seat itself looks like it came out of a Chrysler Cordoba. I bought a Wunderlich standard height used from here and so far, I'm very happy with it. It's firmer than stock and I think that'll make it more comfortable long term. That said, I haven't been able to do a really long ride on it yet due to weather, snow, salt, sand, etc. My only slight gripe is the pan they used isn't as nicely done as the stock seat. It has spots for the tools but many don't fit.

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #10Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #9 Back in the day, the mid-80s, the Corbin Dual Canyon seat made a lot of us Airhead and K-bike riders really happy. Sadly, it's been downhill since then, in my opinion, and experience.

I'm running a Corbin 1 piece seat with a sheepskin pad. I'm capable of 500 mile days when necessary without any undue comfort at the end of the day. The mind is the limiting factor |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #11 Debbie had a Dual Canyon seat on her 1987 K75T. She hated to sock bucket seat. In the US the 1991 K75S bikes were delivered with Corbin Dual Canyon seats. They had a sticker on the pan that said something like, Made by Corbin for BMW. Edit: Bad memory :) It was a patch sewn on the side of the seat.

Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #10Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #9Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #8 I really like my "Corinthian Leather" Corbin that I have on my RS. Nice and firm, with lots of room to move around. I've done several 700 km days on it. I found the stock seat started to to be a real pain in the ass after about 400 km. As for the looks, I think it compliments the Imperial Blue quite nicely. 245567797_891615518408177_2915256367487538559_n.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) |
