Seat Concepts low seat - new

[trails4me]

Ok here are some pics. Seat Concepts Low. This is a great seat, if you're looking for a lowered option, different seat cover and more comfort.

Can someone comment on the slope of the seat?

It looks like it has even more forward pitch than the stock seat, which would be a dealbreaker for me.

My arse starts to go pretty numb/uncomfortable around the 2-2.5 hour mark on the stock seat, which is tolerable, but I have been looking for a better option that isn't $$$$$.

I do not notice it as much. For me the seat sits enough lower that the bars are easier to reach so I naturally sit further back in the "pocket" of the seat

YMMV

There is still a bit of a slope however, if your arms are longer or if you have Rox Risers with the pullback then you'll be able to sit in the dished out portion of the seat to the rear. I find that I'm leaned forward a little too much when I'm sitting back in the dished out portion. I am going to add Rox Risers when I get around to ordering them. I would say that this seat does cure two things at least for me; one being the reach to the ground and two being that the cover does not have the ass hair ripping grip that the stock seat has. The slant is not as prominent but none the less its still there. This Low seat is more comfortable than the stock seat was in the low position(to me). If you're the person that can live with a taller seat(such as a Russell Day Long) then you might go that direction. My 2 cents. Once I've added the Rox Risers, I'll give another report. I think it'll make quite a difference and am looking forward to the addition.

I added the Rox Risers. It's a nice addition. Over 1,000 miles on this Low Seat concepts seat. I still like the seat. Plenty of room to move around and with the Rox Risers, this set up is really comfortable.

You had to trim off the rear of the back seat tab? I'm having trouble getting the front to latch. Wondering if that's my issue??

 

[toypro1]

yes - for me trimming the tab allowed the seat to go back further allowing the seat to latch - it only took about 1/8 inch for me - I went a little bit at a time

 

[VPS1]

That did the trick, thanks!

I wonder if I should trim my Corbin tab a bit to do the same thing.
