OEM low seat

[exiledinaus]

Has anyone fitted one and how is the comfort?

I'm also looking for feedback

I have one. Even though Im 5'11" the bike felt really tall when I first started riding it...

 

As far as comfort, I don't have any issues with it, but obviously, with less padding, its not quite as comfortable as the stock seat.

 

But my longest ride so far has been about 3 hours. For my multi-day trip this summer I'll likely switch back to the stock seat.

 

EDIT- Im also only 157 pounds...

Mines great obviously less padding however there is enough. After a full day out i feel i needs more comfort however horses for courses.

pretty well designed and couldnt ask for better as all day on the GS i felt the same.

Are they available yet?  I tried to buy one, but they were backordered, with no date

I've had the oem low seat since day one on my T7.  I ordered mine right from the UK, at the time in Canada you could not order one from Yamaha Canada.  

Comfort wise its "ok"  not bad, I can go a 400km day on it.  I did get the seat concepts upgrade, its even lower than the oem low seat, but I won't know for a while if its comfy for me (spring time!)

I'm 6'2" and i got a oem low seat for doing technical off road stuff just because it is easier to get feet flat down in tricky situations.  I put standard seat on for commuting or longer trips and light greenlaning . It is only £148 .

Makes a big difference in confidence with low seat on difficult sections

I'm 5'10" and it's perfect for my height. It does feel much firmer than the OEM standard. My legs are slightly more cramped when seated. I wouldn't want to sit on it for more than 3 hours. 

It makes you feel like you're "in" the bike more which is a plus.  I would recommend the purchase.

I have the low OEM Seat, perfectly fine for touring, so all good.
