When I was in the dealership the other day for my service, they had the new BMW Comfort seat installed in a F800GS. Looks really nice and has a nice deep pocket for sitting, narrow at front so I can still touch the floor and a huge seat pan for sitting while riding.

Looks great with the two tone colour, I installed it on my F650GS and tried it out, I'm sold... just have to save the cash, it's EXPENSIVE!

Pics below of it installed on one of their F650GS's:

I have both the standard BMW and the Corbin Canyon DS seats. No question that the Corbin feels much more comfortable with my butt on it. 5 foot 10.25 inches height, 30.5 inch inseam.

As for the Corbin's looks, I've had more people compliment me on not only getting a comfortable seat, but a nice looking one as well. I have not received any comments on the standard BMW seat.

Sergio got back to me today about the Corbin Seat.
Here is what he said:

"Basically you want the seat to be a gunfighter seat. The rear passenger pod is removed and the seating area for the passanger is trimmed down and slightly tapered. Definately gives the bike a cleaner look. This particualr order will need to be called in."

His email is 'Sergio at corbin dot com' and he is at least familiar with the pictures.

Modified seat

After reading this thread, here's just an idea to ponder, I took the low seat that came with my '10 model to a local upholsterer (can't spell that), to have him modify it to my specs. I haven't many miles on the bike (approximately 450), but realized that sometimes I needed to move rearward and the "lowered" section of the seat wouldn't let me. I had him take the cover off and we marked the areas that I wanted to change; when he first gave it back to me, he had added some foam to the lowered part and it ended up with a "crown" to it that didn't feel right just sitting on it, so I had him flatten out the crowned section leaving a slight depression in it, and after riding about 50 miles today, I think I really like it. I haven't ridden with one of the aftermarket seats, but for the $60.00 it cost to modify the stock seat, I think I'll be happy with the change. K.

My seat had been modified like that by the previous owner...it isn't bad compared to the stock seat, which pushes me toward the tank uncomfortably...I find myself sitting on the rear edge of the dished out area, so I may have a go at carving it back an inch or so more and maybe add some higher density foam to that area...
