Hello again.

My bike is identical to this one below

I bought a similar seat from Ebay as shown above. It does have BMW part number on the pan and Fehler/Fehrer name as well.

I noticed similar seat in this post http://www.k11og.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10860 on the red bike ie.

What is this seat as at least my ETK does not recognize the part number my seat has? Seat I bought is not a direct fit on my -94 as the hinges seem to be different. I'm mostly curious to know if this has been an option seat or a modification or such.

This is my bike with it's original seat:

BR,
Finn

First pictures shows the comfort seat, which was standard on the SE models.
It seems that your seat have been changed somewhere along the road.

The comfort seat has rubber molded in the hinges for damping vibrations.

The seat in the last pic looks like an RS seat to me.

Hi, Finn,
My K75RT (now sold) came with the BMW Comfort Seat. The seat is the same as the one which fits the K1100LT, but the hinges are different.

Middle seat looks like a Corbin Dual Touring seat.

The Corbin Dual Tour have a bit other design.
Middle seat is like the one in this advertisement.

Thanks for the comments.

Regarding the rubber mold hinges do you by any chance happen to have part numbers for them? Or could you let me know what bike they are for so that I can try to search for them in ETK, please?
