WTB Low Seat 2004 BMW R1100s

Anybody here know if there was a "low" seat as an option for a 2004 R1100s?
Or, does anyone have a low seat such as a Wunderlich that they would part with?

Thanks!

I've had stock seat, Sargent, Corbin, and currently Wunderlich low. The Corbin was the highest and the Sargent the lowest.

I have a Wunderlich low saddle that I would part with. It is noticeably lower than the OE seat and two Corbins I have, including a made-for-me Corbin that I tried to get as low as possible. Be aware though, the Wunderlich tended to push me forward toward the tank. PM me if you're interested.

The Wunderlich Low seat is the way to go. That's what I have and it works well. You have to be careful of other low seats that might be lower, but they are actually wider, which then still keeps your feet off the ground...

Exactly, it's the narrowness of the Wunderlich's nose that makes the difference.

In my experience, the Sargent was narrower than the Wunderlich low. I was flat-footed with it but am not with the Wintertime low. It feels wider than the Sargent. I kick myself for getting rid of that seat in trade for a Corbin.

I lucked out with a purchase of some shocks off the parts board.

They were 1" lower than stock

I also have the Wunderlich low seat. I had it recovered & refoamed by Sargent with their super foam a few years ago. They did an excellent job & it is an all day comfortable seat now.
