    Default RS seats from BRP

    Does anyone have any experience with the upgraded seats from BRP? My rider complains of not being able to see over my head. I know the RT model corrected that for the rider, but for now I have to contend with the RS model and the complaints for the rear seat. Yes, I know I could leave her at home and remedy the situation but she is becoming more of an avid rider and I don't want to discourage that. Let me know your thoughts on an affordable seat that will allow he to sit just a little bit higher than me. Thanks

    My passenger looks dead on to the back of my head. I don't know of any seat that would raise her enough to see over my head.

    You would have to trade the Spyder in for a crotch rocket, or trade the wife in for one of those 7 foot lady basketball players.

    There is little difference in the two heights with the BRP Comfort Seat. It appears that the Corbin is the same, although that may actually lower the rider a bit. Your best bet may be to contact Russell Day-Long. They will build a seat to suit, and may be able to lower the rider and raise the passenger somewhat. Still, you are unlikely to be able to gain more than a couple of inches.

    All motorcycles used to put the rider and passenger on the same plane, then the passengers got greedy, and started wanting panoramic views. You let them help with the payments and they start making demands. Who woulda figured?

    For the price, you cannot beat the comfort seat. It is well made and feels great.
