RE: Stock Seat Options (Anyone have the R standard seat?) - 2

- don't jump too soon. I am your height and find the Sports seat the best option. It allows less bend in the knee and provides good support for me. Give it 200 miles and then see.


Thank you. I agree that the open knee riding position offered by the sport seat is nice, however my issue is with how high atop the bike I feel. I definitely gauged the different knee positions with the High Rider seat, and also the Low Rider seat. The High Rider seat had a pretty optimal knee position for me, but I still felt a little bit too high on the bike. Based on other comments here, I am pretty confident that the rider seat will provide what I am looking for. Thanks again for the input.

My feet aren't flat on the ground so maybe a Rider would be better, but I'm not going to go down that path.

My seat came into the dealer earlier today, so I went and swapped it out. I love the position that the seat puts me into relative to the tank, windscreen, and handlebars. I'm not thrilled about the crouch in the knees, however. I believe that the High Rider seat would have been a better option if I was not able to move the foot pegs, but I believe that once I move the foot pegs, I will be happy with the Rider seat.

Now the search for a good footpeg lowering kit commences...

I'm 5'10" and switched to the "Riders" seat and love it...much more comfortable flatter shape as opposed to the crowned shape of the "high" seat. Now feels like i'm sitting in the bike instead of on top of the bike...

you are absolutely right about the feeling of sitting in the bike instead of on it. I rode it into work again tonight, and definitely prefer the rider seat. I'm still contemplating whether I would like to move the pegs, but I am really liking the seating position right now.

It seems that sitting lower in the bike makes me want to lean into the corners a bit more as well. Maybe instead of shopping for a foot Peg kit, my money may be better spent on some pants with knee sliders, LOL.
