Hmmm wonder if they could be harassed into making one for KTM 690s. Mines already got a corbin seat, but at the end of the day my tail bone is displeased .

you mean like this little gem?

But for the 690... that's a 950 Super Enduro.

somewhere in the comments for the video it mentions the 690 being available now, or soon.
give them a call! i bet if there's a demand, they'd be willing.

I see... Well, as a designer, sometimes some of the sites i use for inspiration get snagged under the filters for questionable content. I only use it when necessary... Like shopping for guns.

I didn't spot that comment - though I just dropped it on that video and their FaceySpace. Perhaps tomorrow I'll continue my media assault

Any pics with the seat actually on the bike?

I'll post some up in a bit. Currently having some charging system issues, and I had to leave my back at a friends garage... :/

BUMP for pics of the seat on bike. Updated in first post.

[MadDaddy]

Looks good! Thanks for the updated pics!

How's the seating pocket? I'm looking for something with more rise in the front to help with sliding forward.

Definitely better than stock. The seat does sit a bit higher up front too, so that helps as well.
I have my rear end jacked up pretty stiff, and with this seat I don't really have any forward-movement issues at all.

In actuality, it's mostly going to depend on your positioning and bike geometry. My bike has a pretty serious forward bias at this point, and I'm really really leaning forward to get out to the clip-ons, so I likely don't get the full advantage of the bucketing at the rear of the seat.
