Best seat for air cooled GS Adventure

[bikemad]

As bendy says worth trying a few until you get 'the' one

Absolutely.
Some people (a lot TBH) swear by the Corbin/Sargent. I wasn't impressed.
They are undoubtably popular but not for me.
My brother's GS came with a low Kahedo and highway pegs on the crash bar. Owner was a tall bloke so who knows why he needed such a low seat.
But he was happy and somebody bought the low seat for a fair price. So it's all good.

clever!!!

Before you try another seat, try raising the front and keeping the back on the low setting, effectively levelling the seat.

Good thinking Batman!!!!

Ive got the standard seat for my GSA as well as a Sargent and a Saddleback. They are all a little too low for me and Ive reverted back to the standard seat which I much prefer. Im considering taking one of them to 'that bloke who makes seats' to see if he can make one of them higher.

Oh well, the Sargent works for me, but agree with comments about preferences for different folks. Irony is, the GS Adventure looks like it would be mega comfortable in standard trim, but simply isn't. Suspension is very "magic carpet(ish)" though. American cliché comes to mind: "There's more seats than assholes?!" lol

These are all popular seats. Why not sell your seats in the For Sale section and use the cash to buy a Sargent/Kahedo/Saddleback at the height you need.

I might ring him and see if he can make one of my seats a bit higher, maybe sacrifice the sergeant seat I don't use?
