BMW R18 CLASSIC, HARLEY DAVIDSON DYNA
Hi, I’m new here and I just bought an 2021 R18 Classic
I’m not to happy with the comfort of the seat.
Does anyone have any suggestions and/or links where I can buy a comfortable seat for my ride?
I live in Spain so preferably in Europe.

Thanks.
 
Bienvenido y enhorabuena.
If you don’t go by a main stream manufacturer of aftermarket seats, do a search locally to see if there is an upholsterer nearby that can change the aspects of the seat. I bought a stock seat for my Bagger and contacted a guy in Scotland who reupholstered the seat and added medical grade gel to the driver and memory foam to the passenger part and the difference is noticeable.
 
Thats a good question , before you fork out a lot of cash you need to assess whats best for yourself , i tried a gel pad myself and find its ok as you can store it on your bike when not going on long journeys , its hard to give advice on seat comfort only yourself can answer that , also you can get an airhawk seat that you can inflate to your own comfort , best of luck .

Would you have any information about that guy in Scotland?

I put a BMW weekender on my bike, I purchased it from a fellow member and I really like it for up to 500 miles. If you‘re going up from there, the Russel Day Long is the most comfortable seat in the universe… but I bet one on an R18 would look like fresh hell. It is a magnificent seat, though
 
I had mine done by Corbin.
They build it to your measurement. Including the foam adapted to your weight.
Mine ended 2' higher than the poor stock one.
Super confortable.
And you can choose colors, add backrest, heating etc.
Still like new after 4 years
