Higher seat for 2008 gs

[Johnno]

Is there a higher seat option available for the 2008 gs? I've just sold my '99 1150 that I had a higher seat built for - the seat to footrest distance is a bit tight for my 35inch legs. Got a test ride booked on the 2008 but would like to order a high seat if (who am I kidding!) I do get my wallet out

Thanks Orca. I wa in the dealers today having a look at the 08. Wrong time really, the 800 launch was in full swing. The standard seat looks like it's been cut down for a P.O.R.G. and the guy in the shop was trying to tell me that there was only a lower version on the options list. I've had a hunt round on the net last night and found a couple of options as well as the official BMW part. I take it the BMW seat matches the orignal material?

GS Adventure seats will fit.

Yes Jonno, it all matches same material, just different profile due to more padding. Really does make a difference !!
