I'm in day three of my first cross country trip on my 2009 R1200RT after I bought it in June and have already decided to find a better seat. I love the bike but not the seat!
-- I have the stock seat in the upper position due to a 32" inseam and want to keep that height as the lower position scrunches my knees too much.
-- The back seat will never be used, so the comfort of the front seat is all I care about.
-- I'm not concerned about fancy looks, just good long-haul comfort and durability.
-- I do want to keep the heated seats integrated to the current BMW harness.
Recommendations from those of you with experience would be appreciated, especially pros and cons as to why you recommend one brand or seat material over another.
Also, I'm curious about experiences with stitched leather seats in the rain.
Thanks,
David
