    I'm looking to put a taller seat on my TE 250. Anyone have a Guts Racing seat foam? I'm trying to figure out whether to go medium or soft. Input/ opinions?

    I have a Guts Comfort seat on my KTM 450. Best mod money can buy for that thing! I don't know if it's soft or medium, I didn't really have a choice when ordering the Comfort seat, but I know that it is about 1000% better than stock and the seat cover still looks like new 2 years later. Eric has the Guts tall seat foam on his WR426 and he loves it, said he wished he'd done it the day he bought the bike in `02. Again, don't know if it's soft or medium, though. I'd think if you're getting a tall seat because you want the extra height then the medium would be the way to go, but I don't really know. That's just a guess on my part.

    I like the medium foam tall seat. I found the soft foam to soft. Like their stuff. :thumbsup:

    Do they have a hard foam as well? I love there seats but I think this bike I have now is too hard. I am pretty sure I have the Medium density on my WR and love that seat.

    I just received a medium foam tall seat and cover for my TC450. I started putting it on last night. It fits perfectly and seems more plush than the stock board - I mean foam. I have not ridden it yet though so I can't say much more.

    Sounds like the medium foam is softer than stock which is what I was trying to find out. Defintely looking for softer and taller.

    I don't want a taller seat. I just want something a little more plush than the stock saddle on my TE450. I do enough casual trails and pavement to warrant more cushy for my tushy.:D I don't want to go too soft though, because the foam isn't all that thick, and I don't want to bottom out. So maybe I need the medium foam.:excuseme:

    I put a soft std. height on mine, but I haven't actually rode it yet. It seems softer than stock just sitting on it because it seems a little easier to touch the ground.

    I also went soft because I was looking to sink in a bit more so I don't slide back. I was going to put a step in it, but I'm going to try this 1st and see if it will do the trick.

    I just had them re-do my seat. I used the soft seat and it seems a bit taller, but it is now eaiser to touch the ground. This thing is really comfortable. Once again, they get an A++ from me.

    Well, I certainly want to touch the ground better! That's a really nice seat cover too.:thumbsup: Did you send your whole saddle to them?
  11. PhilM Husqvarna

    Actually I am real lucky as they are only 10 minutes away. I dropped off the seat pan and got it back in a few days.

    Oh my! Now that's a fine lookin' seat!

    You know, my stock Husky seat has always been pretty comfortable...
    til now.

    All of a sudden it's kind of not so comfortable...:D

    I use my SM610 in the summer a lot for long rides. I hate the stock seat for this. That seat looks great but as i use mine a lot I am going to go all in and get the mack daddy of seats the Renazco Racing one. :thumbsup:
  14. PhilM Husqvarna

    I was going to buy a Renazco but after talking with the guy on the phone I am glad I didn't. It may be a better quality, but this guts seat is in my opinion more comfortable. Besides, for 4 times the cost, having to wait till the end of May, prepay for it and then have the guy act like a ass to me were enough reasons not to go that route.

    I think there is a seat for every arse, and this one fite me well....
