What aftermarket seat for 300+ mile days...

Anyone got a favorite aftermarket saddle for the WR250R? I expect to be logging some long days from time to time, so wanna get something a bit more comfy and less dental floss-like than the stock seat.

I see Corbin has a saddle. Anybody else do aftermarket for our little blue bikes?

Wheeling Cycle has a step seat too that seems to get good reviews. Some ppl use sheepskin over the seat and find that fairly comfy; I've still got my stock seat and haven't had too much trouble doing longer stints on it.

And since the weather has only allowed a brief 30-mile jaunt, so maybe I'm writing off the stock seat too early. Even at that short distance I was feeling uncomfortable, but maybe it partially because I've still got some tailbone soreness from the wreck that totaled my other bike in January.

Guess I'll do a 150 or 200 miler before I decide to ditch the stocker.

Still, I'd like to hear from someone with the Wheeling Cycle seat. At $139 it's cheaper than a replacement stock seat! Hmmm! Is this the seat?

Yep, that's the one! It's great for ppl who want to get better foot placement on the ground, yet doesn't sacrifice the comfort. I know there's at least one or two ppl on here who have that seat. From what I've heard elsewhere, it's gaining some popularity. Renazco also makes a seat, but it's not a step seat and quite a few ppl have opted for that one as well.

Stock seat plus an alaskan leather sheepskin seat cover (dual sport deluxe model), I'm good for 450+ miles on mine with that. Riding more helps too, the seat takes a good 2000-3000 miles to really break in.

I recomend a corbin seat. it looks better,is more comfortable,and gives me a lowered seat height.

BPG's would be the cheapest route, if you don't like how your stock seat feels, and you can do it yourself.

Here's my seat mod..

I have it over a step seat. I use the step seat as is for day rides.. so far.. but on longer rides i rig up my seat cover.

I've been thinking of tweaking the step seat some.. maybe widen & flatten it out some more in the back. The forward part is fine.. just slide forward & cornering is much easier. I just wanted something for those long rides on fire roads or pavement.

Scotty! Great to have you back!
