The MT-09's OEMSeat isn't bad, but it makes my butt hurt rather quickly.
I guess it's different for everyone, but for me, it hurts if I don't stand or shift my sitting position after an hour.
Also, the OEMSeat has a subtle forward fall, so when you apply Brake, it pushes against the Tank, which is also painful.
However, after switching to K&H's Seat, the above complaints have completely disappeared.
First of all, it's a pain in the butt, but if you're touring on a day trip, I don't think it will hurt at first.
I have run from Fukuoka prefecture to Nagano prefecture on the way down from Fukuoka prefecture to Nagano prefecture, a distance of less than 1100km, about 23 hours and 50 minutes, but I have never had a break due to the pain in my buttocks.
I can confidently say that normal touring doesn't hurt, as it's not very often you get to do a 1000km+ day touring trip! LOL!
Also, K&H's Seat is more raised in front, so there is virtually no upper body movement due to Brake and other factors.
It's very easy to ride
The one thing that bothered me about the purchase was the water stains from the seams.
This one was not at all.
We often get rained on the first at the inn and other places, but when we sit down the next day "Jwahhhh. and Pants won't get wet.
Installation is easy, just port the Bracket from the OEMSeat and the rest of the installation is the same as the OEMSeat.
However, there is no place to attach a rubber to stop documents and other items that were on the back of the OEMSeat, so you'll need to be a little more creative when carrying documents and other items.
But there is a space under the Seat, so I had to put it in there and run it.
If you're an MT09 rider, this is a great product to buy.

The height of the seat is the same as the stock seat (815mm height) of the old model (after 16 years old), but it is more comfortable to stand on.
The inclination of the seat surface is horizontal so that the buttocks do not shift to the tank side even when decelerating.
It also reduces the load on the handlebars and thus reduces the burden on the arms, shoulders and neck during long distance touring.
The thickness of the sponge and the width of the seat are enough, so the seat is very comfortable to ride.This seat is especially recommended for long distance touring.
