Trade R1200R Comfort Std Height Saddle For Tall?

Post by Christeg »

I'm pretty happy w/ my BMW comfort seat, but I'd like it even more if it were the tall version (I'm 6' 0"). Is there anybody out there with the tall saddle who'd be happier with the standard height?

I tried a tall comfort saddle because my only choice was something lower or something higher than the standard seat. If you have a standard height custom seat that would fit on 08, I would be very interested in it. As far as I know, BMW does not make one. I returned the tall saddle and took the hit on the restocking fee...

My wife's 12 R1200R has the std height comfort and she would prefer the high version (we were just worried about not getting the lowered version and didn't know about the high version!)
Of course I wouldn't mind one on my 09, but I am sure nobody wants that std seat - an airhawk works well enough.

You're right about the bench seat; I've had mine posted on the BMWON Flea Market and have had zero inquiries.

I had my R1100R seat re-done by Sargent years ago, and would considering having my bench seat go under the knife, except they don't seem to have a tall option for the R1200R.

The comfort saddle is almost ideal for me - but my knee keeps hitting the left side throttle body.
