R1200gs seats

[Santa-2512]

Quick Q,

When did the design of the front & rear seat change?

I'm looking for a low seat for my 06 1200GS, and seen a few on the bay, but they look way way different to what i would expect / compared to mine?

Anything between 2004 and 2012 (2013 for a GSA) will fit. I've got a low rider's seat, surplus to requirements, sitting in my garage but I'm not really interested in posting it.

Tried sargent but did not notice much difference?
Thought about getting my spare low seat reupholstered any suggestions from anyone ?

The low seats have same seat pan with less padding.

My Kahedo has an OEM seat pan.

I have a low seat which through colleagues of mine at work could make its way down to your area.

Not sure what the going rate might be at the mo, I know I paid a decent amount for it, but it has not been used for several years now.

Drop me a pm if you are interested.

The sargent seat on mine is good for 350miles without any discomfort.
Quality bummel.

I tried a standard height Sargent. (1) I could not properly reach the floor (I had a similar issue with Corbin on another bike) and (2) the piped edge dug into my thigh. No complaint's I just suspect Sargents suit people with longer legs.

Saying that My Kahedo (GS standard height) is ok for a couple of hundred miles but the GSA height with about 20mm more padding is more comfortable for longer.

I bought a second hand screen and sargent seat the seat was worn so did not quite fit my bike (looks) riding it home i did not feel any difference so sold it on.
Im 5'10 but 29 inside leg so only just ok with standard seat.
I think for comfort it needs more padding under legs to take pressure off bottom.
Thanks bobad for info on upholsterer might be a good route to take.
Anyone here had it done ?

I recently changed the seat on my twin cam for a Kahedo standard seat and it makes a huge difference.

The standard seat was a real pain in the ass and the new one is worth every penny.........
