I am just 5'-3" with a lowered seat and this gave me a little extra purchase (and confidence) on the dirt. Happy to have the extra help!

Inexpensive solution to high seat

Dennis Shaw | October 15th, 2018

Works like a charm. I only wished that I had known of this before going with a low seat from BMW. Possibly could have a more cushioned seat. Only problem is that the seat slightly tilts forward causing you to slide forward. Have already recommended it to others

Sometimes just a little adjustment is all you need to make you feel more stable on your bike and this is that solution.

I have a 30in inseam, these off-set seat mounts lower the front of the seat that extra little bit when every little bit counts

Seat Height Adjustment

It will lower the front end of your seat, not the entire seat, meaning that you will tend to slide forward a bit. Still, happy to get the extra 1 cm so I can plant both feet more securely when I need to. Also, pay attention that the grommets do not twist too much when placing the seat back on or it may negate some of the seat lowering or raising desired. Overall, it's an ingenious perk to give that little bit of extra needed. Thanks, Wunderlich.

Not As Good As Hoped...

I love Wunderlich products and the folks at Wunderlich America, in CA, are the best! I bought (2) sets of these. One for my '15 GS and one for my '17 RT. I've only installed them on my '17 RT at this point. Here's what I found... If you rotate the Seat Height Adjusters to the point that puts the seat in the lowest position, you end up with a large gap between your seat and your tank. Not a good look! I moved the "eccentric" to various positions, in an attempt to get an acceptible gap between the seat and the tank. When I found the "sweet spot" it only lowered the seat 3/16" or 4.76mm, which is about 50% of what I was hoping for. Every little bit helps, but 4.76mm is such a small amount, I honestly cannot feel/tell any perceivable difference. I've yet to install the second set on my '15 GS. Hoping I'll be able to get the full 10mm without creating a large gap between the seat and the gas tank. I'll update this review if I succeed. Hope this helps!

I installed this on my 2015 R1200GSA. I am not a tall rider and every little bit helps. This just works; its very easy to install. You may have to push harder to snap the seat in place. It tilts the seat a bit but does not cause discomfort. It will definitely helps off road.
