I’ve used Seat Concepts seat kits on several dual sport bikes over the years and they are must-have upgrade if you’re like me and can’t sit on the stock seat for more than about 50 miles. On our Honda CRF250L project bike I went with the Seat Concepts seat shown above, in the Standard Foam Height version, and the All Carbon cover material.

The Seat Concepts seat for the CRF250L is about 9 1/2″ at its widest point, compared to about 7 1/2″ for the stock seat (see photo above, bottom left). It also has slightly softer foam than the stock seat. That combination of softer foam and wider seating surface make it much more comfortable than the stock seat, especially on longer rides. I’ve done several 250+ mile days on Seat Concepts seats and they are a HUGE improvement over pretty much any stock seat.

Cover Material Options:
The All Carbon Cover shown on our bike is a black vinyl that has a carbon fiber pattern made into the surface for a good look. There is a texture that acts like a very light gripper material and it’s easy to move around on the seat. Your other option would be the Black Gripper/Carbon cover, which has a gripper material on top of seat and the carbon vinyl material on the sides. It’s great for aggressive riding and when you want to be held in place. It is definitely more grippy than the all carbon cover.

Foam Height Options:
The Standard Height Foam version we have on our bike is about the same height as stock, but about 2″ wider than stock at its widest point. The lowest point of the seat is raised 1/2 inch to help the slope into the tank. The other option available is the Low Height foam, which is about 1″ lower than stock, and still features the wider seating surface.

What You Get:
The seat kit includes seat cover and replacement foam, so you have to use your stock seat pan and assemble it yourself. Installation instructions are included with each kit. The Complete Seat is a direct bolt-on seat and simply replaces your stock seat and uses the factory mounting hardware.
