I tried swapping a 2023 gel seat on my 2020 Versys

[Viserys21]

So I was eyeballing that 2023 Kawasaki low gel seat (part #99994-1832) for my 2020 Versys 650. I thought it'd be a sweet upgrade but turns out Kawi says it only fits 2022+ models. Bummer, right? If anyone's tried making it work on an older bike, holler back

yeah, It's always a gamble trying to fit parts across different years. haven't tried it but i'm also interested to know if someone here has tried it and can share their experience

true, sometimes the changes between model years are tiny, and sometimes they're deal-breakers. I might just grab one and test-fit, worst case, I'll return it or mod it slightly
