Touratech seat owners I need your help

[klingklang]

I just received the touratech seat I ordered. I picked it up at the store and left the box there and put the seat in my top case. I ordered the high version. Looking at it, my brain started spinning with the doubts it is not the high but the normal version. It looks pretty normal to me. Is there somebody that could give some references. Maybe the dim between the underseat edge and the seam inline with the logo triangles. I am surprise there is no part number sticker or something like that on it.. hour help would be very appreciated. I have 11cm between the mountains.

Klingklang , measure on bike from Footpegs as the instructions state then you will know.

Thank you both but my suspension is not stock, my pegs are not stock and lowered and my actual seat is not stock either....

 

[Madhatter]

not sure what to add to that except , try the seat and see how it works , and good luck.

on the underside of the seat it should have a white label with part number and saying low standard or high on it

here is a picture of my touratech seat

is there anyway you can get hold of the shop see if they can locate the box if you only just pickrd it up it must still be there somehere strange no label on a new seat tho, i,ve measured my standard one and its hard looking at your picture to see if mines the same i,m getting about 10.5 cm so you could say the same, the high seat from when i tried one at the shop was alot different and shape.
can you load a few pictures up so i can see the whole seat as in the dip it was much thicker the high one

Comfort seat rider Fresh Touch, for Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere, high

Yamaha's design for a large touring enduro, as equipped from the factory, does provide essentially continuous comfort over long distances for both rider and passenger. However, its seat was criticised because the foam used in its construction was too soft

see the high seat doesn,t dip in the middle

 

[bimota]

standard seat dipps in the middle totally different shape

when you get a chance load a few pictures up, side on, looking down on the seat etc i,ll tell from that.

Bimota, your lucky, the only label I have under the seat is instruction on how to clean it. I've also contacted the dealer if his still have the box and if it has a part number on it. I don't remember having seen any labels on it. I was a plain brown box. I'll take more picture later today or tomorrow. Thank you

 

[bimota]

did you find out after from the shop

rob

 

[klingklang]

yes , they wrote me back saying the number on the box is the high version. Looking at this picture, and looking at those on the touratech website I think is right

 

[Longdog Cymru]

Yes, that is definitely the high version.

thank you guys

 

[bimota]

thank you guys

what colour is your bike, in the picture it looks green

[klingklang]

It is green, I wrapped it after an unfortunate incident between grinder sparks and a tarp....

Black, Blue, Silver, White, Grey, Red, or Sand?

Someone scratched the tank in the showroom so the dealership had it resprayed at the BMW bodyshop close by (I just had the opportunity to choose the colour and finish as an alternative to the matt!). If I was paying I would have had the mudguard painted, like my 2014. The seat is the Sargeant...
