The R1200 GSA comes with a notoriously horrible seat. It's hard and curved in such a way that you're constantly sitting on your ass bones. And if that's not enough to make for an uncomfortable ride (hint: it is), it's also angled such that you're always sliding forward. Anyway, it sucks. I finally went to Don Weber at Mr Ed's Moto in Albany, OR for an ass-fitting appointment. He tore down my seat, built up the cushion, custom-fitted it, and then re-covered it with the material (and colors) of my choosing. The passenger seat was just re-covered to match (notice how it still tilts forward). If Michelle decides to take any long trip with me, I'll get the rear one done too. The result:

Notice how the sitting area is flat to the ground, and how there is even a little dished portion for my tush. Riding back was heaven, and the week after, I rode two 700 mile days to San Jose and back. It was wonderful! I wasn't tired due to an uncomfortable seat -- I feel like I can ride all day now, for months straight.

You may be wondering, "Orange? WTF? Is that KTM Orange? WTFx2?" Yes, it is. I love orange - and notice how the line between the gray sitting surface and the orange middle follows the line on the tank, between the gray and black. It turned out just how I wanted it :)

Also, I got a sample of the fabric, and had a  paint store mix me a quart of the orange. I plan to paint some (small) accents of orange on the front too, but I'm waiting for warmer weather.
