With my 6' 6" frame I was a bit disappointed at the seat height on my new KTM 1290 super adventurer R. Ive been riding BMW GSAs for the past 15 years which have all had more than enough height, although on the high setting they have all pushed me forward on the seat with the usual scrotum rolling problem.
Ive just fitted a Power Parts two part seat to the KTM claiming +20mm extra height. Maybe +20mm on the "S" but on the "R" its a massive almost 50mm ... wow!!! and the seat is flat and doesn't roll me forward on the seat. KTM just say +20mm for both models (missing a trick here KTM there must be lots of big guys out there looking for a high seat.!!) Im no longer disappointed with my Stallion of an Adventurer Bike. Seems a lot lighter than the BMW too..!!
