Ok! Every one of you guys are EVIL!
There I was just now, on the phone with Sara from CSC....finalizing the TT250 order, credit card in hand.....and right out of my mouth slipped, "While I have you on the phone and I have the credit card handy, Sara, why don't you just slip one of those RX3 tall seats into the TT250 crate for me..." I hung up and muttered to myself..."What did I just say???"

Oh, you'll be enjoying that seat soon enough. Then it'll be "Why'd I wait so long".

You're a hard soul 2 .... Doubt I ever do 3 hours non-stop willingly, butt, ha! see what I did there, I have ridden it for longer periods yesterday and today with much improved comfort. The 250+ added expense was worth it for me.

I Saw Miles and Miles of Texas
So I had to see what the fuss was all about with the seats. But of course, on an enduro not the RX3. Did 174 GPS miles today in true duel sport mode twisty hard top and calichie gravel, dried mud track and Sandy red track roads. Moving time was 4 hours but took long lunch and couple leasure fillups (dairy queen large dipped cone )Had a blast but the last 60 miles was at the point of not being able to find that spot where you could not quit squirming . Will have the baby powder handy next time. Really have been enjoying the Garmin in ways I have never really used it before. SO THIS IS ADV !

I had the narrow seat for a while. Then I sold it and bought a tall seat. The narrow is more comfortable than stock by far. The padding is better and it flattens the seat area. The seat material is an improvement too. It's best for people with an inseam of 29" or less. For everyone else, I would recommend the tall seat.

Here's my post from the Pros/Cons thread. http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...244#post220244
I have the 'narrow' seat. The sitting area is flatter than the stock seat is. It's approx the same height wise, as stock, but it's thinner between the legs and the slide slope is angled differently. I'm 5'4 with 28" inseam. I think the narrow seat is getting me closer to the ground than the stock seat. Before I got the narrow seat, Rojo_grande did take my stock seat off and shave it down. There's not much extra foam to take out, to make the seat shorter and skinnier though. We did get a bread knife after it, staple the cover back on and I rode it until Rojo was kind enough to pick me up the narrow one, while he was in CA for the Baja ride.

Well, I promised an opinion about the stock seat, so...
After 450 secondary-highway miles, it's not a bad perch. Not the cushy-comfy saddle of my old BMW, but not the tailbone-bender of the Nighthawk, either. I think I could have gone lots further without trouble. A sheepskin pad would help a lot, and I did like the CSC tall seat I tried at the show in Sacramento. I'm beginning to believe that the key to bottom-end comfort is a combination of the seat itself and taking regular breaks and moving around some, in flight. Besides, standing up at 55mph looks cool! |
