Seat Concepts Low Seat!

Wanting just a bit more distance comfort on the new GSw I decided to try out the Seat Concepts Low Seat. The stock seat was not particularly tall, but SC tends to make them higher, so I went with the low seat. $169 is not a bad price, and if it doesn't work, I am confident I could trade it for a stocker and most of my cash.

So, here is the original seat:





Remove all the staples and the cover and foam. They are not glued on.





The corners on front had removable plastic parts, I assume to keep the edges from being too sharp.





Here you see the stock and SC foam differences.




Installed with lots of 3/8" staples and a manual gun, and it looks pretty good, almost stock. The gap is the same as before.

I sat on it and it feels OK, not really much shorter, and maybe a slight forward tilt compared to the very good stock seat!

Tomorrow will tell.

Nicely photographed post...looking forward to hearing the ride results.

Thanks, not bad for a cell phone.

I only got 20 miles today, but it felt pretty good. It was firm, with a dished out seat and no pressure on the jewels. Not much lower on reach to the ground due to a slightly wider profile and firm foam, so it should be good for some distance. Time will tell how far.

Nice write-up
I had posed the seat concepts question a while back- http://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthread.php?74680-Seat-Concepts-anyone as I am looking for some sort of upgrade for the TW-200 which cane with a 2X6 that gets harder with age.
