Low seat options on a 1200gsa

[Striker]

I've had the bike a few weeks now and I have nearly dropped it on 4 occasions so I'm looking for a lower seat.

I'm a short arse so yes, I should have bought a standard GS but I like the look of the ADV. I've looked at the new Wonderlich Low GS seat and I think will work for me as it's 2" lower than the standard seat and seems to support your back.

Has anybody got this seat? any issues with it ? is it comfortable.

Cheers Andy

Sorry no answer with regards to Wunderlich Seat, however have a few suggestions

Could take your seat to Tony Archer in huddersfield who will re-shape your current seat perhaps taking a few cm's off, think he charges about £60 and loads of good reviews about him on here if you do a search. He has a website if you google him

Alternatively see if someone wants to swap a standard GS Seat for the adventure which I believe will take approx 2cm's off height. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong

Sargent low seat +1 far superior excellent for extended riding done 33k on mine and would not swap for the world. Not cheap but worth every penny.

Wunderlich low seat

I had no trouble fi,nding this on www.wunderlich.fr Look for a SELLE BASSE ...if you cannot manage a little French p.m. me and I'll try and e(-mail you the details 311€ is the cost. I assume it is not on a UK website?

V comfortable

Low Sargent seat did the trick for me.

Had the BMW low seat for a while but sooo uncomfortable after an hour or so. Sargent seat is excellent IMO

Another for the Sargent. As others have said, pricey but my god worth every penny.

Thanks for the replies, I like the look of the Sargent but I need to sit on one first. Anybody with a 1200 adv with this low seat live near York so I can sit on it and try it? Looking at the specs it is only 1" lower than standard, that might not be enough for me.

I have heard very good things about Tony Archer seats as well so this will be my second option.

As a cheaper option, also good, low Top Sellerie.

You can 'have a sit' on mine or borrow it for an hour if you fancy a trip into Lancashire.

They are expensive but if you keep you eyes open for a second hand one you will re-coup your money if you ever decide to sell.
