Wunderlich Low Seat

[BeemerBill]

Has anyone had any experience with the Wunderlich Low Seat on the RT? I'm thinking about trying one but would like to hear from any current/past owners before taking the plunge.

I currently have a Sargent low, but it doesn't really work for my old backside.

Any thoughts, opinions or loose change would be appreciated.

I had one on my old RT for a short time. I couldn't tell the difference between it and the stock seat other than the fact it looked better. No additional comfort for me at all. I didn't think it was all that much lower either.

I've got a thread going here in Oilheads:

Laura from NJ offered to let me try her Wunderlich which she says is shorter & they claim to be 1.5" (40mm) shorter than the standard R1150RT seat.

BTW, how's that one? I was giving that some thought too. It's supposed to be 1" lower than stock. I've got a 30" inseam and I'd like to flat foot.

Love it! I've had mine for 20,000 miles. Any questions, ask away.

Jim,

The Sargent low is 1 inch or so lower than stock, but it is also a bit wider. For me, the added width negates the drop in height. With your 30 inch inseam, you should be OK. The seat is a bit hard for my liking and that is the real reason that I am looking for a replacement.
