AT Low Seat
1 - 20 of 48 Posts
What is the seat height of the AT with the low seat and how much $ does it sell for, how to order ? Short guy! I was hoping the bike used drag link connection like a KLR so it would be easy to lower, but so sad, I saw a picture of the bottom of the bike and the suspension links are a casting like the SL650. Anyone got info....This is the CRF1000L Low seat option

Went to my Honda dealer today and asked about low seat, yes they had it listed from Honda accessories but no part number or description yet (just a picture). Price and info to come soon I hope. I will try to post that info if and when I get it. If anyone else has info on this low seat I'd be glad to hear it.
I was under the impression that the stock seat was able to be mounted in a lower set of mount holes. The lower position was 33.1" That is lower than my KLR. It measures at 34.0" I could tell that the AT was lower. I sat on 2 AT's at the Dallas MC show. The std seat height I could touch the floor with tiptoes. The lower seat bike I could touch the floor both sides with the full ball of my foot. I am 5'7" with a 30" inseam for reference.

These are from finnish catalog. I believe part numbers are same everywhere in the world.
Matala=Low, Korkea=High

low seat option
The low seat option appears to be an accessory seat, quoted by rider magazine article as 33.1 high position and 32.3 low position for this accessory seat, still no P/N or price. I saw another article that commented the AT will be assembled (made?) in India (a different article than the Rider Magazine, I don't remember where I saw it). Hope this is correct information so none of us get a wrong impression. I was originally hoping the AT had Dog Bone type links in the rear so it would be simple to lower the bike but from the latest picture I saw it appears to be a casting with a dog-bone appearance at the back attachment of the assembly. I may not have gotten the solution I was hoping for (KLR dog-bone simple lowering option), maybe someone has additional idea on this as the accessory seat may still be a bit high for me.

Here you have European accessoires list. Seats are in option High +30mm(standard) Low seat -30mm (standard) means low seat at 820 mm.

At 31.5" inseam it's a calf workout to ball of foot for long periods of time in stop and go. The California stop is a good adv technique. The low seat can help with frequent stops in city traffic or offroad where you may need to put a foot or two down. The higher seat helps slightly more with long ride comfort. It would be nice to have both to switch as needed. But everyone is different I got by fine for years with the klr and drz taller seat heights.
