Here are some pictures of the problem. r12rt seat support 3.jpg. As you can see, I have the same front support. My problem is the rear support as shown here. r12rt seat support.jpg. If you look closely, you can see the bumper at the rear of the seat has slipped from the upper step to the lower step. Attached Images.
Ordered a high seat from BMW and thought problem was solved. But we have another problem - seat slopes towards the tank. Partially solved it by raising the front seat clamps by 13mm.
Fortunately, the good folks at Corbin Motorcycle Seats have been making a better option for over 40 years now, and such is certainly true with their offering for the R1200GS. Easy to slip on in place of your original seat, far more rugged and durable, and incredibly comfortable compared to the BMW original seat, here's the breakdown:
dimension specs. Overall Length: 87 in OR 2210 mm. Overall Width: 36.6 in OR 930 mm. Seat Height: 33.5 in OR 851 mm. Weelbase: 59.3 in OR 1506 mm.
The BMW R 1200 GS is a motorcycle model that was released in 2006. It is a dual-purpose bike, designed for both on-road and off-road riding. The bike features a boxer engine, which is horizontally opposed, and has a displacement of 1170 cc. It has a fuel injection system and a 6-speed transmission. The BMW R 1200 GS has a steel tubular frame
The standard GS seat is adjustable from 33.7 to 34.5 inches; the optional high seat is 34.6 to 35.4 inches and the no-cost optional low seat height is 32.3 inches. An even lower fixed 31.1-inch seat combines with a low-suspension package, but that option is not offered with ESA.
