    Ripping apart the RSD seat

    My bike came with a brown fastback seat, the brown is just not my thing so off it went to the upholsterer along with a reshape, but lower all round, passenger section beefed up a bit with a not to king and queen chopper seats.

    Hi, where did you get these beautiful black cylinder covers from?

    The fastback type seats can be difficult to install correctly. At least more so than the two piece design of the stock saddle. Particularly due to the leather strap bit that goes over the saddle. Unfortunately I don't think BMW's manuals give details on proper installation of this seat. I do...

    To me it was better than the stock seat. Pretty close to my Corbin Gunfighter.

    Viking Odin Bags on R18

    Hi Guys. I recently purchased the Brown leather fastback seat on my Manhattan matte R18. I love the look but i feel there is a little something missing. I'm thinking of adding the Viking Odin bags to the bike. Has anyone tried to retrofit this onto a R18 yet...

    BMW (Mustang) Seat options breakdown

    For those with a bad back, I think the Russell Day-Long seat (with a backrest) would be therapeutic.

    BMW (Mustang) Seat options breakdown

    Mustang confirmed the Fastback Seat is marine grade vinyl. It looks like leather. They did a nice job. (As an aside, Mustang got back to me with an answer in a couple of hours. RSD still hasn’t contacted me)

    Damn, that looks nice. How do you find the height compared to the stock seat?

    I haven’t seen a shot of the Vintage Fastback seat yet. It is fairly firm with a pronounced arch for your back. The length allows movement forward and back to adjust position fairly easily. It only has about 300 miles on it so it is certainly not broken in yet. I have a bad back from a car...

    Greetings from the Space Coast

    ...dealer apparently won a “lottery” for an accessorized bike from the factory. (Documentation seems to support this) So it also had a Vintage Fastback seat in brown and Roland Sands machined end caps, headlight surround, clutch/brake covers, gas cap, cylinder trim and engine trim. The V&H pipes...

    ...was distractingly sore and I had numbness in the inner thighs too. Simultaneously numb and in pain 😬. But it's probably 10% worse than the Fastback saddle I used for awhile. The difference isn't so much in the padding, but in the feeling of support. The bobber saddle is a flat little bugger...

    First Ride 2021 Classic vs....

    6'4" 220lbs 33" insweam. It fit just fine. I will be adding crash bars with either a footrest added as part of the design or highway pegs that I will add myself. Im adding the fastback seat for a little more comfort while keeping the seat height at 27".

    First Ride 2021 Classic vs....

    I got the Weekender for my Classic and can confirm it is a substantial upgrade from the stock seat. Like you I found the stock seat was starting to feel uncomfortable after about 45 minutes, but the Weekender was still comfy after 2 hours straight. I know others have commented on the gas gauge...
