[Delboy777]

Wow ! just managed to pick up a ultra low KAHEDO seat for my new GSA for the absurdly low price of £100 RRP £374.89.................im a happy bunny

Now all that you need is an Airhawk to go with it

Mmmm ive heard of them but never seen one lol

To me, the ultra low Kahedo seat felt like it would be comfy on btm but legs were scrunched like a sports bike and bars felt like ape hangers. Maybe pumping up the Air hawk
will sort it.

I got one, but went back to a standard BMW low seat - like sitting on a poorly padded ironing board - maybe would work with a gel insert ?

Mmmm, my one arrived today, will have to try it out to see, either way i think it was a bargain.

You did get a bargain but believe me you will not be able to ride for more than 50 miles without being in pain

Only riders with really short legs actually need the low low seat. One foot on a footrest and one on the floor is more than adequate for supporting the bike. The "down" foot does not even need to be flat & in the UK that's usually impossible on the left due to road camber. I use the right leg 90% of the time and have no problems.

I cant get both feet flat but its none issue. I never try to paddle the bike backwards and I never climb on or off without the side stand being down. The need to have both feet flat is little more than a comfort blanket supported by seat makers selling low low planks. If flat down feet really is important, sell the bike and buy a cruiser.

By all means try one but get it cheap and sell it on later for someone else to try.

Bendy, i have a 29in inseam and im not sure if the normal seat (not the adventure one) would be low enough TBH. So i dont need both feet down to feel safe and i normally just use one anyway. I got this seat at a very good price and i will try it out when the new bike comes on Monday. Incidentally i already have an OEM low seat and a standard GS one. Which one would you keep when the GS goes?

Yup,
I do all that, but still need the low seat to do it .....perhaps next time it will be a GS instead of a GSA, as I've got to that age where I've started shrinking

I find it ****ing annoying that tall bikes make no allowance for people smaller than the average German. Side stands on both sides of the bike would solve the problem. In the meantime short legs need a low seat but at least they wont be scrunched up like average legs.

Hence the KAHEDO Bendy. The GSA is a tall bike compared to the factory lowered one i have just now, but im going too master it lol
