    Hey Everybody.

    Here is a quick photo comparison between the stock seat and a Touratech tall seat.

    The Touratech is obviously taller/flatter but it goes a little deeper than that. The Touratech also has much firmer foam than stock and much less of a "cheese-grater" cover. The cover is very grippy but much more comfortable. There is also a very pronounced "seating position" at the mid/rear of the seat that immediately feels at home. In my opinion this is a seat for sitting back and touring.

    I haven't had a chance to log much seat time but definitely liking the Touratech seat so far.

    thanks for the pics. Is that the one from advrider flea market? I was tempted to grab it. Have you tried the tall Seat Concepts in comparison?

    Yes. Seat was for sale here and also on ADVrider I think.

    I have not tried the Seat Concepts tall seat. It is a very different shape though. Flatter with no raised passenger section at the back.

    Do you have lights in your handguard? Let's see some pics of those. How bright are they?

    A few photos I found of the tall and standard Seat Concepts and Touratech seats for comparison sake. I have no direct experience with Seat Concepts.
