COMFORT SEAT

[coz]

is a comfort seat worth the money? will it cure the butt muscle ache? what makes it different/ better than a stock seat is it the shape of the foam, or the type of foam used? is the seat pan a different shape ? i need help.:thumbup: i love this bike but i hate this seat.

The Comfort Seat worked wonders for me, I too hated the stock seat. I can ride for hours on the Comfort Seat with no issues. It was worth ever dime although I felt it should be offered as an replacement option when purchasing the bike. It's much less expensive than Corbin or Russell so give it a good look before you decide to spend the extra $$$.

The other mod you need to make to vastly improve your comfort on an RS/GS is to install handlebar risers. Kewl Metal makes the best IMHO.

Seats are a very personal thing. What works for one owner may be agony to the next. Some like the stock seat, some the Comfort Seat, some Corbin, Russell Day-Long, sheepskins, the AirHawk, gel pads, etc. Your best bet is to try to get to a Spyder event and ask to try other owners Spyder seats. In the meantime, an AirHawk or Alaska Leather sheepskin may help.

Beadrider beads can also help. I've managed to avoid a new seat because of them. One thing I like about them is that they are slippery so you can move around to put your body into the turns a bit more. No need to pick yourself off the seat to change position. You can slide. Course, the first time you sit on them, it's a bit weird that you can slide so easily.


They may not solve the problem. But they might be a kind of stop gap solution until you can sit on some seats. That's what is mostly holding me back. I need to sit on a seat before I buy it. The beads have helped the stock seat until I have that opportunity to experience other seats.

In addition to a different seat (I have an Ultimate for my RS, love it), I also have both an Airhawk and a Beadrider. I don't use them both at the same time, but I find that just by switch them out over a long trip I can really increase my endurance.

I also find that the Beadrider provide great relief and ventilation under your body when riding in hot weather.. My Spyder was totaled in November and the Beadrider was the first thing I grabbed off its broken body

Hmmm, I have not heard of the "comfort seat". Could someone post the web site or a photo of it. I have an Air Hawk and a couple of different pads, but I still get tired butt after 100 or so miles. Thanks.

The comfort seat is an inprovment over the OEM seat on the gs/rs. I put a Corbin on the first GS and a Comfort on the second RS.

I also put a Corbin on my RTS.

As others have mentioned, seats are a very personal thing. You can spend a lot of money trying to find the right seat.

Not for the RT

George, the comfort seat is offered from BRP as an upgrade for the RS only, sorry, but BRP doesn't offer another option for the RT besides the new color of the 2012s

Seats!! Going right to the BOTTOM of the problem. In previously owned Harleys, I had Corbin seats. OK, but I didn't know better. With my BMW R1200RT, I went to Rick Mayer in northern California and had one custom made. Now that was a comfortable seat. When I got the Spyder last summer, I figured I would get with Rick soon for a custom seat. I did get the Comfort seat with the Touring package. Rode for a few months and realized that the Comfort seat is a pretty good seat. I have no problems with it - except I needed a backrest. Utopia solved that problem and it will be installed shortly.
So my bottom line:roflblack: is - it's a very good seat for your bottom. :yes:

It may be a very good seat for your bottom, but it hurts mine. We are all built differently, so what is good for one will not necessarily suit another. nojoke
