If you are interested in that, I can take few pics, pat number for the seat

Be warned that all the seats have the same part number embossed into the plastic base; the actual part numbers relating to the different seats is provided by the factory on a poorly adhered paper label.

Ask me how I know...

OK Freddy, I'll bite. How is it that you know about the poorly adhered label?

My lowered seat (part # ending in 317 I believe) was slightly used when I bought it off a seller on Bike Trader. I do have a standard issue seat, but don't wish to part with it as any eventual buyer of my RS may not be a vertically challenged as I am!

Stick.

I went to BMW dealer and took exact measures for #1, #2 and #3 (from the table above -in the same post) -while bike is on the centerstand (posted here).

I have seat #3 and looking (preferably) for #1 but #2 would be OK as well.
If anyone wants seat #3 and has #1 or #2 -let me know.

On the attached pics: lime-green(ish) is 2020RS with standard seat -white is 2020R with high seat and -blue is mine (2017RS with lower seat)

I-white is 2020R with high seat

Looks like the Sport Seat on the white R1250R.

Most certainly the Sport seat, Lee. Unmistakable height and shape difference

I just put a Sport seat on my bike. I like the height, less bend at the knees. Plan on taking first trip with it next week.

Have a Merry Merry and a Happy Happy too all

This looks very much like a sports seat (840mm) on Ebay.

I think that the seating options are still:
Sports Seat 840mm.
Standard RS Seat 820mm.
Standard R Seat 790mm.
Low Seat R & RS 760mm.

Im trying to find the Standard R Seat.

Someone is trying to sell a Sargent "standard" seat for 150.

How did the trip go with the Sport seat? I like the height of the seat, but the crowned profile doesn't provide much lateral hip support.

Trip went well, It was a day ride about 630 miles seat worked out fine. It's nice to have the seat covered in vinyl while in the rain. Oppose to the leather of the Corbin seat.
