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

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.

Thanks Wafatboy! Yes that seat looks really good as well! I will try the HP seat first (just oredered) and see if it fixes my problem.

Did you italian seat fix sliding back and forth under hard acceleration / Braking?
Also do you think hanging off and feeling stable / planted on the bike improved?

That are the main things I'm searching for :)

Thanks !
 
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!

The HP Race seat has been great. Would recommend it to anyone tracking/racing the bike.
