R1150R SOLO SEAT

Post by arizrngr »

Does anyone know of an after-market seat maker that makes a seat similar to the BMW Police saddle? I have the factory 'LOW' seat and it forces me to ride with my testicles on the tank - I think it is making me sterile!! I have tried the low Police seat on the R1150RT Police version and it is great.

Thanks - Keep the blue on top and the green on the bottom.

I was still able to father a child, despite the BMW seat.

Is it possible that the RTP seat is manufactured by a third party? You could ask a dealer or bmwusa. Or maybe ask a cop? Most of the local PD's around here probably wouldn't know but for instance the California Highway Patrol /really/ know their bikes.

I had same problem with my '05 Roadster. OEM seat gave me a case of "roasted nutz" :cry: . I installed a beaded seat cover to give Mr. Pete and the boyz some breathing room!! :wink:

Beaded cover is now on the Wing!
