Dave76 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just wondering if anyone has the extra comfort rider seat on their GT? If so is it much more comfortable and does it raise the seat height any? thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mikerbiker Posted March 27, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have the Yamaha Comfort seat on my GT. Got it soon after purchase of bike because I had good experience w Yammie comfort seat on my R1. Relatively inexpensive for front and rear too, think $350? Happy w it. Never had sore butt yet w it. Don't think its noticably higher than stock. This is profile view, fyi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave76 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Cheers for that, I might pick up the rider seat. Not bothered about passenger comfort as the wife won't get on the back lol. I was hoping it did raise the seat height a little though, ive got pretty long legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It looks like it slopes toward the tank even more than the stock seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't even got my bike yet so i'll give the stock seat a chance but it's good to know the comfort seat certainly seems to work. Thanks again.

Premium Member runnerhiker Posted March 29, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 29, 2019 Those are my pictures above, although Tracerracer must have done the overlay, I didn't. I put the camera on a tripod and shot them back to back. The comfort seat is a little higher than stock, it leans forward towards the tank less than the stock seat, and it has more cushion and is more comfortable than the stock seat. I am not 100% happy with it......... why does it still lean forward? 2019 Tracer 900 GT Niwot CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
