How do I know if I have a low seat?

[wheeledwidewebb]

The seat on my GS does not have the rail system of adjustment that is referred to in the owners manual. I bought the bike at about 15 months old and it is a 2007 model.

Can anyone tell me if the adjustable seat system was changed or have I got the low seat option? I have to say that the bike doesn't strike me as very tall when I am sitting on it.

Thanks.

well if it doesnt have a two position adjusting rail I recon its a low seat.

i'm not aware of a fixed seat height other than the low option.

IF YOUR RAIL AT THE FRONT IS FIXED THEN ITS THE LOW SEAT OR IS YOUR BUM NUMB AFTER 100 MILES

Here is a picture of the underside of the seat, does anyone recognise it as the 'low' option?

 

[Gabby]

Yep...same as mine and I have the low

Thanks everyone, all I have got to do now is find a standard seat.

Isn't that a good thing?

Or are you really really tall and it's uncomfortable to ride for long distances?

No I am not a giant, I am 6 feet but it does seem a little cramped.

Also, now I want to know what the standard seat is like. It may not be better but I need to try it out I think.

Then you should have got that Sargent standard seat that a bloke from Mill Hill was selling.

It may still be there.

Far superior to the BMW seat.

Yeah, I am toying with a fancy seat rather than the standard OEM one.

 

[Fanum]

I've got a standard one if you want it

You will have now problem selling the low seat

 

[the-other-bradders]

why not offer to swap it with someone who wants a low seat? or take it to a local friendly dealer and see if they'd like to swap...may be a free way of chnaging
