no, not really, I bought and installed the Seat Concepts "High" seat with the gripper top and carbon side panels and red stitching. Not only does it look awesome but it keeps you right up there where you need to be, on the motorcycle, not in it. I'm 6'2" and 175 lbs. I have to stand on my toes at stop now but the purpose of this seat was to shorten the amount of travel from sitting to standing while on the trail. What a difference. I know its been said before but these seats are the bomb. The old seat is like a 35 year old Archie Bunker longue chair and now it feels ridged, solid and something out of the KTM catalog. No more knee torture or back aches from standing. I'm Expecting all the banjo fittings to extend my brake line then the 2" riser will be the cherry on the top and she'll be finished. oh, PS: The GF just got the 2011 BMW G650GS and I'm loving the interchangability of the parts. I now have her mirrors on and they have a smaller profile with a more stylish cat-eyed shape. I believe they will give me less rear view sight but much better then our big square wind flags on the TR's. I bet they even may help with the high speed wobble........ soon I can change my avitar
Got a high seat model too. I've never ridden as far in one "sitting" as I have with the "Seat Concepts" Saddle. I rode over 500 miles one day last week with this seat and I had no dreaded "Monkey Butt" at the end of the day.
