2013 F800GS Seat Solution
Let me start by saying that I love my bike and don't really want to trade it for a 1200; however, I am finding myself becoming uncomfortable due to the seat pushing me me forward. It is not that I am jammed up against the "tank" but rather the crotch of whatever pants I happen to be wearing. I have tried a Touratech seat and am currently using the BMW comfort seat (Which is actually a little more comfortable). I believe the problem is the forward angle of the seat as I just sat on a 1200 GSA and had the same issue until the sales guy adjusted the seat (front raised up while back lowered) and the problem was resolved. Does anyone have any solutions for the 800GS to creat a more leveled seat position?
