Default Tall seat

Anyone using a tall seat?? I would like a slightly taller seat to make standing and sitting a little more comfortable. When i have the bars set so that i'm comfortable while standing they are slightly too tall while in sitting position. Enduro Engineering has one available and i think Guts makes it for them. Guts also has the foam in 3 densities. Soft, medium and hard. I recall a few years back the Guts foam made the seat look like c-ap. I'm trying to decide if the medium or hard would be best. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I like my Guts tall-soft seat and it has held up very well.

I have a tall/soft seat and cover in stock. PM me and it can be on the way to you.

I've ordered a EE tall seat from GG Pacific. After riding a friends orange bike equipped with a EE tall seat, I phoned to order one as soon as I got home.

Steve, does the tall cover look similar to the OEM cover?

The EE cover has a pocket at the front for the nose of the seat and a steel grommet at the rear for the hold-down screw. There is a little square embossed EE logo at the rear sewn onto the cover. There are no seams along the top, and the material is a fine diamond pattern, mostly that you've seen on KTMs.

Oh, and it's black

Just has my first ride with the EE tall seat. Its nice, and a definite inprovement over stock for my lanky frame. The foam is made but Gutz. While it is a "soft" foam, I'd call it more of a medium. Definitely firmer that my buddies EE tall soft KTM seat. Install was easy, required a pneumatic stapler.

One thing I'm not impressed with is there is hardly any foam at each end of the seat. The nose of the seat, gas cap end, is paper thin. I'm concerned about the staples poking through the foam here and going through the seat cover. Have a look at the pics and you'll see what i mean

I went with the EE tall/soft foam and new cover. The thing I was looking for was a little more width at the top of the seat. The stock GG seat was rubbing me raw. Comparing it to my old KTM seat, it was definitely narrower at the top. I'll be trying it out next weekend at a HS. Hopefully no more severe monkey butt.
