I broke the stock seat and bought the Husaberg Tall seat. Very happy with it.

I dropped my seat off at Gutz and got a tall soft seat foam installed. Very happy with it, the soft foam let's you swivel left and right without even thinking about it. With the tall seat, I don't have to hold on when up near the tank and on the throttle hard. I stay put there with little effort through a few turns, whereas w/the stock seat, I had to move up for every turn.

I got a griper cover with nylon on the sides. That, and the tall soft foam was around $100 installed. (8 months ago)

I bought the Husaberg factory lower seat and it made all the difference, as the bike has over 7 inches more seat height than I have inseem.

Guts tall medium with their gripper seat cover is the shiz. The soft foam is too soft IMO, you sink into place and can't move around on the seat.

I ended up getting a Seat Concepts seat based on a review in another thread on this forum. I got the low version and I am very happy with it. I bought my seat from cyclebuy.com, which carries a lot of Berg stuff and I've been happy with the service they provide. Here is a link to the thread I was referring to above, which helped me make up my mind on the seat choice... Hope this helps!
