Kenny. i posted a few words on this recently - cannot quickly locate that post but I carefully measured my new seat vs the OE GT seat and there was, from imperfect memory, a gnat's whisker in it.

Thank you for confirming this. I'm a lot happier now. B.T.W. Sorry to hear you have to sell your GT.

I ordered the basic seat that Chromeburners sells. I wasn't sure how to modify the seat through Cromeburners, but I'm real happy with the seat I received. are they comfy? big improvement over stock? this is without the bultex?

I didn't feel like I was constantly sliding into the fuel tank like I did with the stock seat. I think the cover material on the Bagster offers a lot more grip than the stock seat, so that helps a lot. When I received the seat I did a 250mi ride and I never felt like my butt was sore like I did with the stock seat. I have no idea how the bultex seat is as my seat is the stock seat that Chromeburners sells. He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About to pull the trigger on the cheaper version that chromeburner is selling. But can't make up my mind between the bultex or the cheaper ones without the bultex. btw if you have any pictures of it do post them up! thanks once again!

quaxum Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 So no leaking issues from the latest iteration from Bagster? That's what I'm pretty concerned about as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm pretty concerned about as well. They've added a plastic sheet/layer between the seat material and the foam now which, while I haven't tested it personally, is now included for that reason. Also I second the Bultex option as others above have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There WAS an issue with early Tracer BAGSTER seats collecting wetness (rain, hosing, etc) but they quickly picked up on that and the foams now are encased in thin but adequate plastic. I never had any moisture matters.... Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.

No is the short answer..... but I managed to put those in with the OEM tool pouch anyway. Not a deal breaker IMHO. Here's a photo of the underside of the seats: - N.B. This is the seat for a 2015 Tracer. I assume?? that this is the same situation for later models... anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2018-onwards will not fit the older models. vice-versa. But thanks! Edited December 11, 2019 by quaxum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I see what's happened here. Your question @quaxum was whether the tools would slot into the underside of the passenger seat like the OEM one does - correct? I was attempting to answer that question with my reply. The only unknown is whether the later models are configured similarly and I'm assuming they are but I put it out there for those that have your model to respond. Hope that clarifies what I meant. 🙂 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
