Looking to finally get a Uly tall seat, but having a bit of a hard time finding one. Apparently it's on back-order for at least a couple of weeks, but I was hoping to get one sooner.

Does anyone know of a source for the tall seat (part # N0025.1AKFYW) that has it in stock and ready to ship?

Thanks,

Trevor

Yeah, I've seen that one.

The shipping charges seem a bit outrageous though... $35.

I may have to sucks it up if I can't find anything cheaper.

I sold and shipped my low seat a couple years ago and the best shipping I could find was over $20

that's reasonable for shipping a uly seat.
i'd say to buy it or have yours re-upholstered.

Evileye,

I'm looking for one of the newer tall seats... the one without the seams on the thigh area.

Is the tall seat more comfy than the 2008 seat?

IMO both seats are comfy. The tall seat made my bike handle better. It put more weight on the front end and felt like I was on top of the bike and meant business. More racy position.

I prefer the low seat for longer rides. If I want to get the on top of it feeling, I just slide up on the tank and concentrate on my aggressive style. Sometimes Ill growl and make faces like Im going faster...

I didn't realize that there was a tall seat other than the 2006 seat. I put a 2006 on my bike pretty early on and never felt tempted to experiment beyond that.
This bike is still the most comfortable vehicle I own.

All the seats that came on Uly's after 2006 were "low" seats. Not as low as the accessory "low" seat, but scooped out for the rider.

They continued to offer the tall seat as an accessory.

At some point the tall seat stitching changed; not sure if it was when they became an accessory seat, or if it was somewhere down the line. Regardless, I've never noticed the seams on my original seat from a comfort standpoint.

With a 34" inseam...I love my tall seat. Evileye - what do you want for yours? I'm sure I'll wear mine out eventually...spares are good to have : )
