Does anybody have one they would like to sell? I'm interested in the tall one, figured I would check here before ordering one, plus how hard are they to install if I do it myself? Thanks in advance.

They are easy to install yourself. Follow the instructions that come with it and you will be fine.
i think there are some you tube videos that will help.

Thanks for the reply, I have a pair of Moto Skiveez coming that I have been waiting to try for a while, if that doesn't work I'll try the seat concepts, the wife has no problem with the seat 😀

I didnt have a problem with the foam either. It was the shape of the stock seat that was the killer. It dips down in the front and I always ended up jammed against the tank. Not comfortable at all.
I remember a post from Snowfox that she didnt like the seat concepts and ended up replacing the foam only and reusing the stock cover. She found a local upholstery person and had the foam shaped exactly how she wanted and saved a few bucks too.
I use to use bicycle shorts. Good padding and a chamois material inside to absorb moisture.
But the older I got the shorts just kept shrinking. Never did figure that one out.

I've had my "order" in for a used tall seat on this forum for about a year now, so get in line buddy! No line jumping!

The Seat Concepts for the TW was a disappointment and I returned it. However, I bought the 'low' seat version for my KLX just so I could reach the ground and it's surprisingly comfy. I'm not sure why there's a marked difference of comfort between seats. Strange, yes?

Lol, I'm going to try a pair of moto skiveez's, a lot cheaper than a seat, they come highly recommended by adv riders, plus if it works I can wear them on the other bike and I could use a new pair of panties 😉 😜

Been wearing padded bike shorts (under my pants) since day one. They do help a lot, and as @salabim mentioned...keep you more comfortable.

And, they're much cheaper.

Figure, a bicycle seat is FAR worse than any TW seat, so if if helps there......

That is interesting. I bought the Seat Concepts tall seat for the Versys X-300, and was infinitely pleased with it.

I shuddered at the idea of ripping the stock seat apart, but the seat went on well. The instructions were perfect for an all-thumbs oaf with a stapler bought for the occasion.

I guess it's good to know that the TW seat is not so satisfactory. Actually, I don't have such a need to replace it - it seems to work with my own duff, reasonably well.

Makes you wonder, though...how they can get some seats so right, and then completely mess up other designs.
