Flanders 0 Posted October 8, 2014 Just installed Seat Concepts foam and cover on my DR350-- LOVE IT ! Nite and day from stock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PbdBlue 46 Posted October 8, 2014 3rd Seat Concepts. I had a EE Seat on my ''07. SC is a much better seat. Also you will find that the seat height will get a little better once the suspension settles in. I'm 5' 10" and after break-in I'm fine with the Seat Concepts standard height seat. I don't care for the lowered seat as it makes the seat to peg distance a little too cramped for my taste. My buddy is a little more vertically challenged and he had the suspension lowered 2" on his. Both of us have the 350 but it's the same frame/seat as the 500. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CVRick 42 Posted October 8, 2014 Ok thanks for the input.I think standard height gripper top is the one for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PbdBlue 46 Posted October 8, 2014 That's what I have. Now the tough decision - orange stitching or black? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted October 8, 2014 Orange stitching is for faster riders- the color contrast is far more responsive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PbdBlue 46 Posted October 8, 2014 That's why I got it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted October 8, 2014 That's why I got it! Yeah- about that.. by now you've doubtlessly received the letter that, based on the results of your last crash, the privilege of orange stitching has been revoked. Get out the black sharpie...

Vacman 0 Posted October 8, 2014 here's a pic that might help. The contrasting orange stitching on the seatconcepts seat looks awesome imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted October 8, 2014 All is not lost- perhaps one day, in the distant future, you could regain the privilege. We always leave the door to redemption slightly ajar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
