Hmmm wonder if they could be harassed into making one for KTM 690s. Mines already got a corbin seat, but at the end of the day my tail bone is displeased .

you mean like this little gem?

But for the 690... that's a 950 Super Enduro.

somewhere in the comments for the video it mentions the 690 being available now, or soon.
give them a call! i bet if there's a demand, they'd be willing.

I see... Well, as a designer, sometimes some of the sites i use for inspiration get snagged under the filters for questionable content. I only use it when necessary... Like shopping for guns.

I didn't spot that comment - though I just dropped it on that video and their FaceySpace. Perhaps tomorrow I'll continue my media assault

Any pics with the seat actually on the bike?

I'll post some up in a bit. Currently having some charging system issues, and I had to leave my back at a friends garage... :/

How's the seating pocket? I'm looking for something with more rise in the front to help with sliding forward.

Definitely better than stock. The seat does sit a bit higher up front too, so that helps as well.
I have my rear end jacked up pretty stiff, and with this seat I don't really have any forward-movement issues at all.

In actuality, it's mostly going to depend on your positioning and bike geometry. My bike has a pretty serious forward bias at this point, and I'm really really leaning forward to get out to the clip-ons, so I likely don't get the full advantage of the bucketing at the rear of the seat.
