You know what made me think of this? The Ultimate seats with the two-tone option...

It all boils down to choices, choices, choices.
I don't believe I have bought ANY vehicle where everything was as perfect as I wanted it to be. There was always something I "had to live with".
RE: the 2014 RT-S. I am not sure I am going to like the floorboard configuration. I usually go for a seat with more support than the OEM--but the jury is out until I have 1000 miles or so. I am not excited about the "frunkgate" issue. I am still wondering if an upline BRP seat needs another backrest from the backrest that can be ordered with the OEM seat. I want a different color than previous so am locked into Yellow or Cognac on the machines I am interested in. I really do like the two tone seat for the RT-S. I guess one out of four is good. My plan is to not add anything, drive it a thousand miles or so, and make further decisions. The worst that could happen is there will be a new 2014 for sale with only 1000 miles for about $8K or so. 
 
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

One would think that BRP's "Limited" model is the flagship of the lineup.
If you discount the GPS; it's really been de-contented to not much more than an appearance package now:
Limiteds are Chrome
RTS is Black
That's about it... 
Bob, the Limited has always been just an appearance package with some added personal property (GPS and luggage). The two tone seat is clearly sportier than the Limited seat and therefore the sportier people will be riding the RTS.

All colors are available from Corbin. I like my Corbin seat. I had them do mine in black and white to match my RT but it came out looking like a skunk so I spent a few more hours at Corbin while they switched it to all black. My buddies still tease me about the Skunk Seat

 2014 Seat Color
A seat is just one of the many focal points of a Spyder IMO. But my mind fails to keep up with the big deal over Black only on the RTL. How many of the 2014 models that will be sold this year will have the OEM seat on them by the end of the model year? 10%' 40%, 78%?
Dave has the right idea send it to him for a custom cover job them you can have the odd bike in the parking lot! Good idea, Dave the SBM with the best idea wins, right?ll

Come on Bob....just use your imagination! When I've been down to Daytona Beach for Bike Week (which in my case generally lasts for 3 weeks!)
I've found numerous leather and upholstery firms just dying to take my money in exchange for some seriously lovely custom work.
I'm pretty sure that even in NY State there are similar folks who could transform your seat into something a bit special!

I think that Bob's point is he is paying extra for the Limited and he feels that it should have the only the best items on it. Unfortunately for Bob the two tone seat is on the RTS.

Dave,
At this point; could you give us an idea of what it might cost (approximately), to re-skin the seat in our choice of colors?
And; do you have something in mind that would match up to the new Cognac color?

I found this picture of the seat on the Limited if you haven't seen one ...

It looks like there is a slight change in the rider's lumbar support area.
I'm #2 on the list for one and they should be arriving soon.

Can't tell from the pic but did they get rid of the tear spot front hump?

As this is now an old thread I think you'd be better off sending Dave a PM, Arecibo50.
