Several failed attempts resulted in more low\/normal seats, one of which I purchased and received before I figured out that it was not a Dak seat. This time, I was able to verify the seat first, and then trade my extra low\/normal\u00a0one for a real Dakar seat. The other rider needed and loves the low\/normal seat, thank goodness. The difference between the two seats is amazing. I like my low seat and find it plenty comfy, but the Dakar seat is a completely different animal. The only word for this seat is PLUSH.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, it does not put me on my toes. It only puts me less towering over the bike. I still have about 1cm of clearance and my feet are flat on the ground with a slight bend in my knees. So the new suspension will be the big event, and I will likely end up with both the new rig and this seat after a bit of acclimation. I love this seat. It is really comfy. Really really comfy. It changes the ergos of the bike slightly, and I like the riding position a lot. Make that &#8211; I LOVE the new riding position.<\/p>\n<p>The difference between the low\/normal seat and the Dakar seat: Dakar on top, low\/normal on bottom. Both pans are identical, with the same part number. This makes identifying the seat kind of difficult.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/atomicalex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_1355.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1183\" src=\"https:\/\/atomicalex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_1355-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1355.JPG\" width=\"627\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atomicalex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_1355-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atomicalex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_1355-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/atomicalex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_1355-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/atomicalex.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_1355.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a Dakar seat for my F650GS!!
