DP Race seat install question

Discussion in 'Hypermotard' started by Mintt, Jun 23, 2012.

  1. Hello

    Never thought I would post a question about how to install a seat that has one screw, but here I go. Std seat had to two foam blocks underneath, DP seat comes without any foam blocks, but has the same sort of rectangular flat spots where the foam fits on the std seat. This suggests to me that DP seat should also use the foam blocks - correct? I was not in a patient mood, so removed the foam from std and put on dp seat. That seemed wrong as well, since it appears to have been fitted to std seat with permanent intentions. Anyway, now installed with std foam blocks... Hoping to find out what the right approach is..

    Thanks for looking - here's a pic:

    '09 S model picked up unused from a dealer about 1,5 months ago. No regrets :)

  2. From what I can remember, the DP is a direct replacement for the stock item!!
     
  3. Thanks! Would you have an option to check this out, if you have the same seat?
     
  4. Sure thing, I'll come back you asap!! Your bike looks great btw :upyeah:
     
  5. Thanks - to all of it ;)
     
  6. Hey - did you get a chance to look at the seat yet??

    Excellent weather here in UK - hope it has gotten better in DK while I was away...
     
  7. Just checked mine and its definitely a direct replacement, no need for the foam supports!!
     
  8. Excellent - appreciate it, thanks :)
     
  9. What is the verdict on the DP seat? Good buy? Good fit? Recommended?
     
  10. Would recommend it and think the price is reasonable. Like that it makes seating position more focused and less fluffy compared to stock. Also harder, but not uncomfy. Fit could be better.

    Besides, stock looks... not so good, to say the least :)
