I wish I knew. The attached option looks good. Sub'd for updates.

BMW HP, Has a Race seat set up, with a bracket and center bolt. Here is a Picture of it. I think it will go on the market around Oct or Nov.

 

Thanks for that, I'd seen something on a news teaser for BMW HP but it didn't appear in any of the catalogues. Will speak to my dealer - exactly what I want

 

That seat is gorgeous... Me want!!

I have been checking on this HP seat every 2 weeks for the last 2 months.
When it's available I will order a few of them.

 

I have the Raceseat and it feels great.Check here

 

I came close to ordering but their site is poor and I couldn't get a response from anyone by email. Do you know of a supplier that stocks them?

Given that the HP race seat is imminent I will probably wait but it would be good to have some options.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Those seats are made to order.Email them and they will be very helpful.I sent a used seat and transformed it in a Raceseat in a week(you can also buy a complete new).You can also tell them hoe you want it and they will fix it..

 

wafatboy, I've got a race seat that fits up to oem mounts. It brand new and was designed for use in prostock. You would need to stick a race foam pad on it.

Send me your email or mob and I'll send you pics if you're interested.

$50 plus postage

 

BMW S1000RR

 

I've just seen a message posted by Nate kern, The HP Seat is Available at bmw dealers. I posted the picture of seat in this past thread.

 

Cool will look out for it.

 

Recevied my seat last week, Have not installed it Yet.

 

What is BMW's price? Will it fit the s1000rr?

 

I believe it will fit a s1000. BMW 385.00 Maybe get a group buy together should get the price down to about 325.00

 

385 damn i thought ducati was bad with their seats. WA i guess its always a seat problem no matter what bike you buy

 

I got one too a few weeks ago. I forgot to post it up on this thread when it came in. One thing I like most about it, it's made to be removed with one bolt.
$325 is almost cost with shipping from the UK.

 

Installed HP Race Seat today. Got lucky and hole were predrilled already. But removed the sensor under the middle screw mounts and put some tape around the positive terminal. so my tools wouldn't hit the wire and short something out. Installing the middle bracket as a bit of a pain in the ass, cause the screws have to by tightened from underneath. I recommend getting them good and hand tight, so when you mount the seat there is room for adjustment. I took my time installed in about 20 mins.

 

Awesome, finally!

Where can I buy one of these that will ship internationally? Google hasn't turned up much!

 

Some of the bigger BMW dealer will ship internationally. Try the following.

Max BMW
A&S
Sierra
Cross Country BMW

CC said they will ship internationally when I initially negotiated the forum price on the 2D sensor.

Just picked one up. Anyone have the write up on the seat install? Those two little silver screws are impossible to screw in since there's no clearance.

 

Can any of the owners of that HP seat describe the advantages ?
I'm nobody that needs a more comfortable seat on a liter bike, I want more grip and easier hanging off.

The surface of that seat looks very grippy.

Can you guys confirm if you have an easier time holding on to the bike?
I guess it also is now easier to access the battery bay because of the new way to open it!?

 

I was in the same situation as you. I bought a race seat from raceseats.it which cost around $350 and does everything I need - its grippy but good shape for getting off the bike.

The material of the BMW race seat looks very much like the Ducati Performance seat I have on my 1199 which is great. The seat looks quite narrow which should allow you to move around on the bike more easily.

If I hadn't bought a seat already I would definitely have bought this.

 

Just contacted my dealer MAX BMW to see if he can get me one i need this seat asap!

 

does any body tall have experience with this seat vs oem , I get hip cramps riding my bike (i am 6'2), by changing my original seat to this race seat will give me an additional 20 mm, will this additional height of the seat be significant to fill the difference

 

i know you said not cover because most covers arent grippy. my seat comes from lui moto it is a cover that i had custom made with tech grip. pm me i can get you a deal if you like it.

 

I wish the Wunderlich seat had that style of mount. It's a pain in the ass to unscrew the bolts underneath the seat. And screwing them back in is even worse!
