I'm on the hunt for some new seat options for my 2016 Versys 1000 LT. Has anyone out there tried any upgrades or gone for aftermarket seats? I'd love to hear what's worked best for you, especially when it comes to comfort on those long rides. Any reccommendations or tips would be super appreciated

Ok, so for me I swapped mine out for a Corbin seat and it made such a big difference for long drives!!! It's comfy as heck. If you're tryna rack up miles, it's worth shifting to something that brings you great comfort. :) Don't sleep on custom foam mods too if you want something tailored for you. It's gonna cost a bit more, but you shouldn't trade comfort for anything.

Wow I swapped to a Corbin seat too on my '16 1000 LT, and it made a world of difference for me too way more support and less pressure points. People also talk about sargent seats too. @CurveCrush3r this is your cue

I just found my Corbin seat budy
 
Popular upgrades include the Seat Concepts Comfort Seat, Corbin Canyon Dual Sport (like they both said), and the Shad Style Comfort Seat, all aimed at reducing fatigue and improving support. Some riders also tweak their stock seat with extra foam or angle adjustments for a simpler, budget friendly boost. Do you prefer a firmer seat for support or something plusher for lounging on long rides?
