POSH W400/W650 & W800 (99-2022), SMART DOUBLE SEAT, STITCHED, 040101-06-10.

The newly designed POSH W650/W800 smart double seat base is compatible with the standard W400/W650 & W800 frame in factory trim (or equivalent finish). Offered here in black with a stitched trim. The smart double seat by POSH suits owners looking to replace their factory seat for comfort and aesthetics. Popular for owners adding style to Scrambler, Café Racer & Custom builds.

This seat was once part of the "Official" Kyoto range (famous SR/W650 store), however when "Official" closed after 25 years in business, POSH took over the range and has made updates and improvements! Whether you're evolving your bike's existing style, adding comfort or completing a specific build design, this seat adapts well to many bike styles and owner's needs.

SUITS:
-> W650 (1999 ~ 2008)
-> W800 (2011~2022)
-> W400 (2006 ~ 2008)

KEY FEATURES OF THE "SMART DOUBLE" SEAT:
+ Recreates the atmosphere of the 70's custom, with versatile use on many build styles!
+ Slightly reduced seat thickness, with a flatter surface which is a great match for custom builds.
+ Can be used with normal bars and clip on bars, and also by owners who seek better comfort.
+ Can be installed at the same time as most rear carriers and pannier racks.
+ Fits with original W400/W650/W800 tank, as well as many custom tanks with normal length.
+ Made in Japan.

CONSTRUCTION:

The base is meticulously crafted from thick fiberglass (In Japan), providing robust support and longevity which has been recently updated. It also includes integrated lugs with rubber bump stops. The factory lock can be attached ensuring seat is locked down securely. The seats outer cover is Naugahyde (Automotive vinyl for motorcycle use). The base is finished in black gel coat and looks neat and tidy as sold.

DESIGN AND COMFORT:

While ergonomics and comfort are very specific to each induvial due to rider height, weight and other factors, many owners of the W650 & W800 know that the seat frame rail angle slopes upward from the horizontal position, making the seat appear higher than it looks and that the standard seat position for rider and passenger (especially the passenger) has a rear-upward slope that is known to create an uncomfortable feeling of sliding forward for many owners. Therefore, POSH has offset the standard seat's mounting bracket and seat shape, resulting in a seat that has improved comfort for both the rider and passenger while maintaining a natural shape and line.

The top side features urethan foam, which offers a firm yet comfortable ride absorbing vibrations and providing excellent support aided by under seat dampers which many custom seats don't have. Additionally, it lowers the seat slightly compared to the factory seat, giving your bike a sleeker profile and a slightly lower stand over height on some year models. (NOTE: there were several W series seats with various thicknesses, stand over height will vary compared to STD depending on your year model).

INSTALLATION EXTRA INFO:
+ The tandem (pillion) belt is NOT included. As the seat is suitable for two up, we suggest adding a rear grab rail or separate pillion strap if wanting a passenger.
‎+ Although the seat is waterproofed due to side seams, there are minor cases where water may seep into the seat seams due to stitching treatment and design. This is normal with most seats including factory seats. Just let it dry in the sun or if parking in rain / wet conditions use a seat cover when parked or washing the bike (as normal).

FAQ:
Q: I don't have a factory seat latch pin, is it required to fit this seat?
A: Yes, this seat will require you to transfer your seat latch pin with bracket so the locking mech can be used and to fit and secure the seat.

OPTIONAL PARTS:
-> This seat looks great with our short rear fenders, and low-down bars. Why not also check our great range that compliments this seat!!

ATTENTION:
1. Please note that no pillion strap is fitted to maintain its minimalist aesthetic; however, a rear W650/800 grab rail can be easily added for comfortable two-up riding & we do have straps available (see in store).

2. Please note, this seat is usually made to order. If POSH has stock at the time when ordered, allow 7-10 days delivery. But in most cases, it will be made to order so you should allow 21-45 days delivery as a guide! Once this seat is ordered, you cannot cancel the order or return.
