I have a 'spare' Tall Touring seat in the bike shed.

Took it off my Wee when I returned it to standard to trade in for the AT.

It's 40mm taller that the standard Wee seat, and 20mm higher than a standard Vee seat.

Is that a genuine Suzuki tall seat. If so, how much do you want for it

@ Mad Malone, glad you're sorted mate. ????

@ Ozbass, yes it's genuine Suzuki. They're surprisingly rare given the Strom has always attracted taller riders.
But like Rusty says it will not fit the newer L series, only the earlier K series Vee or Wee.

Happy to hear from anyone else who is interested @ £75 collected from the beautiful Hope Valley.

Great excuse for those of you out west to add the Cat & Fiddle and/or Snake Pass to your biking repertoire! ????
