For Sale F650/700/800 GS Rallye Seat
- Thread starter mad-dawg
- Start date
A bit of background to this;
I tried a mates 800 with a rallye seat and liked it.......a lot. So I paid Barrie Robson in York £350 and they shipped one in from Germany.
I liked the 700 but the distance from arse to footpegs was too small, the Rallye seat is about 3-4" higher than standard so gives waaaay more leg room.
Also because it is flat and does not slope towards the front I think its a lot more comfortable, no constant shuffling back every time you brake or hit a bump. on a decent run I reckon it would be great to be able to move back and forwards rather than being stuck in one position.
Sadly I never got to confirm this because I never rode my bike with the new seat fitted. The bike has gone so the seat is very very surplus to requirements.
I would politely suggest if you are not well endowed in the leg department it may be a stretch. I am a 34" inside leg so I can cope with off camber moments on a Tenere 700 so the F700Gs was like a kids bike to me. YMMV whatever the hell that means.
I was going to waffle on but if you read this far and can put both heels down on a 650/700/800GS twin then this is the seat for you.

Hi any thoughts on shipping cost? How does this compare with other after market “comfort” seats do you know? Also, will it fit f800?
