2017 seat option

[AndrewD]

Getting used to my new TBA, not sure I will get used to having the 'same' bike as everyone else though, Cassington bike meet last night was 'spot the 1000th GS'...

I found that as stock, I was leaning into the bars and it was painful on my wrists.

I have fitted bar risers and that got me more upright, but elbows out the weight is on the outside on my hands, elbows in it is better (feels like riding an old RT/LT though!). I had a Sargent seat on my old 1150 ans you sat more 'in' that, the new 2017 I'm tipped forward in the seat, weird as you can't grip the tank either.

Any-hoo...

Any seat recommendations?

I have it on low, can it be packed at the front?

 

[wileeeeeey]

Could try low on the front and high on the back?

Hmm, need high at the front.

I'm worried that a Sargent seat will be too wide for my little legs!

I assume you've tried high at the front and low at the back?

That's my preferred option, turn the plate round so it says 'High' on it, or at least not 'Low'

You can also use the front seat bar (the hi/lo bit with the rubber buffers on) from the RT model , alters the angle of the seat considerably .

Use one on mine and it gives a flatter seat angle

If it's a Triple Black GS Adventure you have and you want to sell your stock seats let me know
