Tall Seat option on 2014 RT
- Thread starter ldhardy12
- Start date
FWIW: I tried the peg lowering kit and removed it after one expedition. Yes, you scrape pegs a little more often, but what got me was the feel of my bike (05 1200RT). Just wasn't right. I tried seat on high setting and low. Could not bond with them.
Disclaimer: I am NOT 6'6" tall.
Stock seat a thumbs down
I posted in another area regarding the RT seat.
Aftermarket is NEEDED for the RT. Seat is too soft and slopes you into the tank after a few hours.
Does BMW actually employ people to put hours on these before they are released?
The peg/seat relationship is a bit cramped for me as well. 6'2" and after many hours in the (stock) saddle my knees are really jammed.
Working toward a fix on this otherwise fine bike.

Lynn,
Any issues with the gear shift or brake lever after lowering the pegs? Was the brake lever adjusted down?
I am looking into a new GS, and the possibility of lowering the pegs on it. I am 6'4" with a 36" inseam and a new GS may fit me better than my old RT.
thanks,
Harry

No issues. I did not change the levers. I found that my size 14 boots actually enjoyed the additional space.
