Is there a good aftermarket seat out there that doesn't lower the seating position, works great for the rider and passenger and doesn't require you to send your OEM seat in? After 4 years of riding on this plank it's got to go. Soon.
-
Many aftermarket seats raise the height, not lower it. I know Russell uses the existing seat pan. Not sure, but I think Corbin doesn't use your existing seat pan.
-
Sargent non-low (regular) seat also keeps same height.

They don't. Neither does Sargent.

Interesting. (Although one of the most annoying sites ever.)
-
Not exactly user friendly..
-
Corbin makes their own pans so no sending in the stock seat. I don't think it lowers it. Been so long I can't remember what the stock seat is like.

I never even sat on my stock seat. Bought the bike and immediately put a Sargent on it and thew the stock seat in the attic. I assume it is still there, collecting dust.

Time to admit.................That I never used the site as I bought my Top Sellerie from another forum member here in Blighty
I can say that I find it all day comfy and that's a big plus ;)
I'm sure that they are available on fleabay...which has gotta be an easier option

Ended up ordering the Kawasaki Touring Seat from PowerSportsWarehouse.com back on the 21st... $455. So now I'm just waiting... for delivery... for shipping confirmation... for anything other than they took my money...

A lot of people swear by it. Wasn't an option for me, since I had to have a low seat, so went with Sargent. Very well made, but any low seat is harder due to lack of padding/firmer foam. Doesn't matter to me that much, since the rest of my body is worn out after a few hours of riding, anyway :)

Finally got my Kawasaki Tourning seat today, haven't ridden it yet but I will later today. Had to deal with some hassles to get it, but it is here nonetheless.

Let us know what you think of the touring seat. I have a 2015 and was thinking of getting that in hopes it was softer than the stock one.

my GF has told me that I am never to change the (stock) seat on my GTR
-
I have the Kawi Touring Seat---it got me from Canada to Georgia and back last summer. I would not have been able to do the trip with the stock seat. It is a 1000% improvement over the stocker! You will not be disappointed.

If your bike is a 2015 you have the Touring seat!

Anyone use a Saddleman Gel channel seat? It's the only seat I know that allows for those uncomfortable seams.
