i was wondering what options are out there for replacing the facotry seat on a 2011 model gasgas.

i would like to find something with a little more padding. are there any aftermarket companies out that are making replacement seats? if not, has anyone tried converting another seat foam over to fit a gasgas?

thanks in advance

i ordered the ee seat foam and cover monday... my butt hurts so bad on the 07 seat.. i have heard on good authority the 11 is as hard or harder..
 
'07 seat was very hard. '08 seat much better, for trail riding anyway. Should fit all through '11. '12 is hard too but very narrow with angled sides and is fine with me. Might be something to that shape?

im ordering one today!! iv got to do something soon, a two hour rae almost kills me! lol

did you order the tall seat or the standard height seat foam??

i was considering ordering the tall seat then shaving it down in the front a little.
 
seat foam

On my 11 250R I replaced the factory foam with the "soft" foam from E.E. I did notice a difference right away. The fit was good!!

Maybe try a pair of cycling shorts too..??

i am short..5'6" so i ordered the standard foam.. and the last enduro i rode was brutal.. we rode about 50 miles last saturday and my butt was done..
 
I have a guys tall seat w hard foam and its hard alright. I would go with a medium foam and tall seal if your taller than 5'10. I stand up alot so i dont mind the hard foam so much and i weight 280 so medium or soft i just sink into.
 
im only 5'9" about 185 lbs, maybe i shoul djust stick with the EE soft foam at standard height.

i do wear biker shorts but i should probably get a new pair with more padding.
 
I went from the stock 2010/2011 seat to a Gutz setup normal height, medium foam. In comparison I recall the gutz medium was a bit firmer than the stock foam. I can imagine a hard would be significantly harder. Soft should be nice.
 
seat foam

Fishersaddlebags is the way to go. I had my 2011 widened to 8 inches and his foam installed. A 2 hour hare scramble and my 52 year old tush was fresh as ever.:D
 
Hey guys.....Heres the trick a couple AA riders have been doing that like to ride setting down - They remove all the stock padding and replace it with a couple inches of memory foam !!! ;)

got mine put together and on the bike.. have not rode it yet, but it feels a ton better..

ee seat cover and guts standard height soft foam.. it says it is kdx soft.. i dont think it is that soft.. i was concerned with the foam in my hand it would be too soft, but assembled and on the bike i think it will be fine..
 
I have GUTS foam and cover on my 2010. It feels great but I don't know what model. I pm'd the owner and asked him if he remembers.
 
first ride on mine today and very happy...

on a side note.. one of our honda riders fell and poked a hole in the ignition cover.. no jb weld, but one of the guys had a tire patch and some glue.. held fine all the way back to the truck..
 
I went with Fisher, great Company, great service, great product. Choose your width - you don't need it super wide, IMO. Make sure you figure in shipping costs as you look at price. Wish I had more time to post and give pictures!

Hello Rick,

I can't tell from the Pics/description are these bolt on replacements or is it just a seat cover replacement? also on the pull down order menu it starts at 2007, what about the 2006 EC300 are they the same seat or different design so they won't work or will they?

Thanks,

Tim

You might want to call Travis @ Motoseat : http://shop.motoseat.com/ he is now carring GasGas covers and also has foam.

Worth a shot!

SDG Seats

I sent my stock 2011 seat to SDG, and had a tall seat built on the pan. I have been very pleased with SDG seats. Tough, grippy covers, and water-proof foam.

I had been using their tall seat on my KLX450R, and told them to set my GG300 seat up the same. Two week turn-around.

I am 6' 3" with 35" inseam. Since I retired from the coal mine and shift work, I am down from 242 pounds, to 200 pounds, but the fairly hard foam is still comfortable. I do stand most of the time.
