My first "dual sport" I've usually just had motocross bikes but I need "Transportation" ;) And the "E" is licensed so I got a great BANG for the buck -

So yesterday i was a little bored and had to rebuild the spedo/headlight unit on my bike, and as the liquid nails was drying i saw the stock seat in a box off to the side. being 5'6" and 135# i know i'd almost never use it opposed to my gel seat, so i decided to "shave off some foam. Anyone who was wondering about doing this mod and worrying about it coming out bad, dont, i took 20 mins with a razor and a stapler and had it done in no time: well hee it is stock and before i got to hacking And i tried to pull out some staples, but i really didnt wanna fuss with that. and i figured since ill be taking out material that would yield more seat-cover-overlap, so i'd have plenty to staple if i just cut it off: once the seat cover was off i roughly sketched a 2-2 1/2 mark as to how deep i'd go. i then made a cut out to the back and one up towaeds the tank tapering until it evened out with the stock seat. i tried to peel and cut, peel and cut for about a minute, but well that way sucked and wasnt very efficent, so i started to just cut straight down to my depth line in 1-2" segments and then would just cut that piece out and so on the whole way down: I continued until it was done... crappy but done. i was going to try to smooth it out, but taking small chuncks out of there with a dull razor is not easy. you just rip it. so since i wasnt gunna use the seat anyway i decided to go ahead and cover it. to cover it i put one staple on each end in the center to ensure i didnt put it on crooked. then i did 3 or 2 staples towards the center from one side to the other. with 2 inches of foam missing from the middle you really have to pull hard to suck it down. i finally got it done, and notcied that i shoulda smoothed out where the cut part meets the stock part, but oh well, i'd be easy to re-do. anyway i dont think its too bad for a short guy and 20 minutes... oh and be sure when you staple it back down you push real hard and squarely with your stapler or it wont work.... pull fabrick, hold it in place with stapler, and squeeze if you try to hold tension with your hand and staple behind it, it usually dosent work out too well and yes there is about a 1/2 inch gap between the seat and fabric in the middle of the bend...

I've read just about every seat thread on this forum for the past seven years, so I know all about Corbin and Seat Concept and Saddlemen and Renazco. I rode an SDG Tall for about four years, and while it had more foam, it was actually narrower in cross-section than the original seat. I liked the extra height, but finally returned to the stock since it was just a tad more comfortable (if "comfortable" is a word you can use in the same sentence as "stock DRZ seat"). Anyway, this seat intrigues me. I've had good luck with Moose products in the past, mostly their clothing, but can find scant little information on this saddle; in particular, specs for width and height. i'm not even sure the stock images I'm finding on Google are for the DRZ400-specific product since Moose seems to be making this saddle for a bunch of different bike. This is a long way to getting around to asking if anyone has seen this saddle in the wild, has tried this saddle, or can give me some measurements or riding impressions? Thanks.

I only have so much money to go around. I'll be spending it on functional equipment and preventative maintenance first(clearly pointed out in E. Marquez's outstanding FAQ section). -

Definitely a change from the SV650S that I was accustomed to riding for many years. The stock DRZ400S is not nearly as commuter friendly as I had hoped (Balto-D.C. Metro area). Not quite as highway capable either. It does have it's strong points though. It's torquey and accelerates quickly for having such a small engine, and seems to like being thrown through back roads. Already started modifying the ergonomics and road going abilities of the bike with only 800 miles. Will probably turn it into an ongoing project to see what it will take to make it a streetfighter in dual sport clothing... Thus far (after owning the bike for 4 months) it's had Pro Taper KX High bars installed, a 3.9 gallon Clarke MFG tank with Tusk gas cap, Moose Adventure seat, Acerbis front fender, and a DG O-Series slip-on exhaust added to it. More changes in the future... -

Overall great bike, wish it had a little more snap in the bottom end but other than that lots of power. -

pro's: Easy to get comfortable with, great powerband, it's fast, good handling, fits tall riders well cons: bolts around plastics have a tendency to loosen up so tighten regularly, keep an eye out on the radiator fluid, stock seat too soft even for novice/intermediate riders like myself, stock clutch component allright but not great -

Just looking for some reviews, as well as which companies actually sell complete seats. I must not be looking hard enough, but all I can come up with is SDG, Aceribis X-seat, and motoseat. Seems like an under utilized market. I'm surprised with all the companies that make seat covers, more don't make complete seats. I currently have an SGD on my 2001 CR. It's held up pretty well. Been on there for about 15 years now. Durability has been well proven. While it fits pretty well, the factory seat fits much better. I recently bought a replacement for it, but ended up returning it, as I couldn't get it to fit. Anyways, I'll be picking another up soon for the 450, and have been looking at motoseat, (The reviews on the Acerbis X-seat sound like the seat is too stiff, so I probably won't consider this one, even though it probably looks the coolest). So any insight/experience with any of these brands, or any other is appreciated.

Just like everyone else. good, reliable and fun to ride. Lots of aftermarket goodies and way to easy to spend way too much money on.<br /><br />Huge knowledge base on this bike makes it easier to save a few buck on most upgrades. -

finally got around to ordering a new seat, now that seat concepts offers a complete seat, thought I would share my initial impressions here. I called and spoke to the owner who informed me that they just are now making complete seats. I immediatly ordered one and he told me it would ship out the following week from CA which would put it at my door just a couple days before the Hancock NY dual sport (200 miles). 5 days later I get a email notification that it shipped, great....will be in time for my dual sport! Then 2 days later I checked the tracking and it was returned to seat concepts instead of making it's way to me. I emailed the owner and he explained that his guy send it out regular ground and he was concerned that I would not have the seat in time for my ride, so he called it back and sent another seat out via 2 day air! now, the seat would have gotten here in time for my ride anyway, but the fact that he went through all of that trouble to make sure I had the seat for my ride is some of the best customer service I have ever experienced! I'll be in Hancock arrowing the course today and will report back on the seat tonight, but I really like the looks and feel of it so far. I would explain it as: the mullet of seats...business in the front and party in back!
