doboy Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 filled in the gap between the seat with a piece of carbon fibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Well that's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing. How does it feel compared to the OEM Tracer seat? '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doboy Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 its higher due to the extra padding of the tenere seat , but makes a bit difference . with the stock seat [ i found a little better than early model ] i could still feel bumps in the road , that has all gone , changed the bike completely ..so i ask myself "why didnt yamaha come out with a propper thick seat for the gt " ???

turboturtle Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I gave thought to modifying my stock seat pad just yesterday. Seeing this gives me hope for more comfortable long range touring. Thanks for sharing! BOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seat pan is different and it will not line up or lock in place on the newer bikes. So the one in your link is for older bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
