End Dual Sport Motorcycle Seat Pain with a Quality Aftermarket Seat Option

Based on thousands of customer reviews and our hands-on experience, factory seats on popular adventure bikes like the Suzuki DR650, Kawasaki KLR650, and Honda XR650L are consistently the most complained-about component limiting long distance riding comfort.

Our customers regularly report significant motorcycle seat discomfort within the first few hours of riding on stock seats. The combination of the narrow shape of many factory seats, the density of foam, and the thin material used in OEM seats pans results in poor support for long distance riding. Fortunately, a high-quality comfort seat can dramatically improve your riding experience.

Aftermarket Seat Installation Options

Our Seat Concepts replacement seats can be found in two installation approaches:

  • Complete Seat Replacement: Remove your stock seat and install the pre-assembled complete seat. This is the fastest installation option and also includes an upgraded seat pan
  • Foam and Cover Kit: This method reuses your existing seat base for a more economical option. Remove the stock foam and cover and install new comfort foam and cover. Assembly is required

Choosing the Right Seat Upgrade Style

  • Standard Height Replacement Seat: Maintains your factory riding position while dramatically improving comfort. Ideal for: Riders happy with current ergonomics seeking better comfort foam
  • Low Profile Aftermarket Seat (-1"): Improves foot placement without sacrificing comfort foam thickness. Ideal for: Shorter riders or those prioritizing control on technical terrain (easier to flatfoot)
  • Tall Adventure Bike Seat (+1"): Provides more leg room with maximum comfort foam thickness. Ideal for: Taller riders or those focusing on long distance riding comfort
  • Carbon Fiber Top: Least grippy option that matches the style of the sides of the cover. Ideal for: Allowing you to move around on the seat while riding to avoid fatigue. 
  • Semi-Gripper Top: High performance, medium grip material, texture is a beaded cross weave.  Ideal for: keeping you in place but allowing for movement to adjust your riding position.
  • Gripper Top: High performance, high grip material, texture provides high grip in all conditions. Ideal for: holding you in place, limiting movement while riding.
  • Sand Paper Gripper Top: High performance, high grip material, texture similar to low grit sandpaper.  Ideal for: holding you in place, keeping you securely seated without sliding around.
