Seen this on ebay, are they any good? By good I mean more comfy than standard? I find mine very hard (oohhh errr misses) I tried a gel pad seat and it seemed comfy. Just wondered how this compares and if its a good buy.

Please be aware that the S seat has two varieties.
99-2000 have cups set a lot narrower at the front of the seat base than later models 2001+ I think it was another subtle change when the brakes changed from Brembo to BMW badged items.

Hi all.

May be interested in the seat, mine is a 1999 model, will it fit that? Do you know what model seat it is (lowered or standard) Is it anymore comfythan a stock one? Do you have any picturres? So many questions I know......... My email is sholland@tandbergtv.com

Jason, not been around for a while, sold my house in Fair Oak and new one not ready to move into yet. Bikes are in storage and I am in Korea. Hopefully all be in the same place early next month.......

I'm not sure if you are right Lloyd, as I transfered a seat from my 99 to my 51 without a problem.

A/C not sure if is low or not, didn,t get much of a chance to use it on a long trip, but I cant say it was much better than my gel padded seat.
I will say though that I always seem to have a problem with seat comfort, and have yet to find a seat or bike that is really comfy. Maybe time for a pan eh Lloyd?

Can you still use the standard seat cowl with it? Do you have any pictures. Oh and I guess also, what colour is it?

Just going from the difficulties I had when changing to single seat that needed adapters to make the Ilmberger fit. Perhaps the Germans got it wrong in the first place??

Lloyd - you just knew I'd join in this - didn't you? Tell them about the quality of the adapters!!
......as I transfered a seat from my 99 to my 51 without a problem.
A seat from a 99 will go on to a 51, but the rubber 'bungs' will only just make contact with the locator slots on the seat, thereby making the location of the seat a bit of a hit-and-miss affair.

You will not get a 51 seat onto a 99 without getting rid of a large part of the spigots sticking out of the rear subframe.
Perhaps the Germans got it wrong in the first place??
Pardon?

Pretty ally adapters are all well and good but all the weight saved has now been nullified, besides which they aren't Ti which IS this years black.[/b]

Ti? Very 90's mountainbike bling-bling!

Is that what is known as retro chic?
