This is what I have on my BC, and I can vouch for it being both firmer and more comfortable than the rubber tractor seat, and it doesn't squirm under me.

I think it's Ural but older. It sits on rubber blocks but isn't itself rubber. I'll take a pic when I go outside.

Yep I think so too. It fits me but then I'm smaller than you.Tomcatfixer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 5:43 pmI think I'll try laying pads, such as my AirHawk cushion, on top of the Enduro seat, to see if the additional height helps.

Re: Enduro seat experience.
Chad, here is a thought as to why you and I might have such differing opinions to the Enduro seat despite both being long legged...
I'm running the Raceway foot box.
It is not only essential for keeping my size 15's from getting crushed by stumps and rocks off-road, but it makes an ample platform for my left foot.
I can leave the seat and stand on the left foot box with BOTH feet while riding down the road.
It allows me to scoot forward and hug the tank with my knees by providing ample room for my foot aft of where the stock peg would be or scoot back and rest my foot along the edge of the box, fore and port of the shifter.
As for the foam firmness, it will reduce slightly with time, not a lot, but a little.
Keep in mind you are probably feeling a bit more "road feedback" on a solid mounted seat versus a sprung saddle.

There is that. There's daylight visible under my a$$ on bumpy roads sometimes.

Re: Enduro seat experience.
I put an Enduro seat on my 11 Gobi early last year because I thought it would be more comfortable than the tractor, which I had moved back about an inch on the frame. I am 67 yo, 6'7", 280lbs. My first ride on the Enduro was a 175 mile trip (one way) to Death Valley last spring.
OMG... I was in such pain.. the main problem was that my tailbone hit the Enduro right at the point where the padding is thinnest over the front of the rear fender. I also found my legs were cramping from the lower seating position relative to the tractor seat.
That seat bruised my tailbone so bad I couldn't sit for in a normal chair for a month. The 14 hour flight to Europe a couple of weeks after the ride brought tears of "joy" to my eye... except it wasn't joy.
Knowing that I had another ride planned for a month later, I took the rig to Rip and Tear Upholstery in Hesperia, CA and asked them to solve the problem. Randy the owner, had me sit on the bike and took a ton of measurements. When I returned to pick up the rig, this is what I saw...
The seat reminds me of an early sportster seat...
What a difference this seat makes... no more pressure points and the seating/riding position is perfect, no more cramped legs.

Re: Enduro seat experience.
Dang, Randy! That is, hands-down, THE largest motorcycle seat I have ever seen! I'll BET it's comfortable!
I took a longer ride on the Enduro this evening and I'm getting a little more used to it, but, like you, I can definitely tell where the padding is thinner. I need a good loooong ride to tell me if this thing is gonna work out for me or not.

I just went down to measure... the seat top is 36" off the ground. From the bottom of the seat pan to the top of the seat is 9".
It is a bit of a "conversation piece", but it sure is comfortable.

Such a high seat reminds me of the old Harley buddy-seat.

Re: Enduro seat experience.
I also have the old one nut seat ( although it really makes me cringe when I say that). I bought it from a member here and put it on my 2010. It looks pretty good I think . They had those seats way back when you know. It kinda looks like a loaf of Russian black bread - well except i never ate any of it ! So to make a long story longer - the old seat is squishey firm kinda but works way better than those crackin the back tractor seats!
