Guts RJ Wing Seat?

Haven’t used one myself but this thread has some info.

I haven’t used one either but I do prefer bikes that have some seat to grip with my knees. For instance the 2023 ktm is significantly better in that regard than the 2022. I don’t really consider the rj seat a gimmick like the steg pegs. The rj seat may teach you better fundamentals. I’m not sure the steg pegs do that. 

I think I posted this in the other thread, but I installed one of those seat covers on a friend’s FC350 for him. He feels it helps him with gripping the bike and reminding him of positioning.

I will say that if I was going to try one, I’d buy the complete seat…the cover was a PITA to install as when you try to pull the middle tight (near the wings), you’re pulling on the wings more than the inner cover, making it tough to get proper tension to eliminate wrinkles and slack up top.

Put one on a friends ‘23 Husky FE510 (he was coming off of a CRF450X-a wider bike). He’s tall and likes to grip the bike with his knees. He also uses Steg-Pegs. He says they both help him grip the bike.

So you’d be trading one “gimmick” for another? I don’t understand. You’d never say good bar mounts and bars are a gimmick. Just stop masking the vibration! Seriously though, if they work, keep them. The wing seat probably won’t be as effective IMO. 

I would agree, installing mine was an absolute beast.  Put it on a '21 GasGas 450 and don't feel it was worth the trouble over a regular gripper seat.  

Love mine on a KX450. 

I'm very tempted to try one on my KX.
