Suzuki lowered seats - can lower seats made for pointy SV be used on Curvy SV? - SV650.org

23-03-09, 10:01 PM

Hello folks.

bought my Sv650s the other day (2002 curvey model). I'm looking to fit a lower seat. I'm 5'5 and my inside leg is 28/29'.

I can flat foot with one foot. riding isnt really a problem but moving the thing around is so dam hard!

i'd also have greater confidence if it was lower. I reckon 2cm lowered would be perfect.

I've had a look at the below Suzuki seats- i've called up and they tell me the seats are just for the pointy. I'm not keen on getting dogbones to lower the bike.

If anyones got experience of gettng a lower seat i'd love to hear your input; do he below linked seats work on curvy? is there an after market seat (in the uk and that doesnt cost a fortune)???

pointy seats don't go with curvy ones I'm afraid.
You could get your seat sent to this guy

he's very good with seats, he would probably be able to make your current one fit your requirements. Comes personally recommended. Although I don't have lowered ones.
Don't worry too much about just one foot flat, you'll soon get the knack.
