BMW (Mustang) Seat options breakdown

Selling my Weekender as I “upgraded” to a Russell Day-long. The weekender is years beyond stock in terms of comfort but RDL is light years ahead of everything else as far comfort is concerned. Bike is a 22 Classic.

The reason for the more narrow stock seat on the R18 FE is that knees are closer together against the tank and a greater range of average inseam folks have a more flat footed fit. If you see a front photo of a rider on a wider seat...the knees are more splayed out. Also of course the stock seat looks better than the customs on this bike in the showroom. Note: the more narrow the seat, the greater range of torsos will fit at the dealership visit. Longer inseams will prefer custom wider seats. Butt comfort is always a debate...too many varied butts out there!!! There is no such thing as one size fits all. My 29.5" inseam likes the stock FE seat...my butt gets along fine for the less than the one tank journeys I typically ride. Just personal thoughts and not inviting arguments.
