- Short review of my new custom seat for the DRZ400S by Seat Concepts. The seat is the DRZ400 "LOW Comfort" model with Black Carbon Fiber Sides and Black Semi-Grip Top. It drops the overall height (from top of seat to the ground) by approximately 1".
Can’t believe I actually made into my first oil change @ 1000kms before getting one, have yet to try it but I just knew I couldn’t put 1 more km on her before getting something different. Plus it’s very well made and looks amazing.
This is the first thing to do just after getting your DRZ home. Transformative!
I've put several hundred miles on the DRZ with the new seat, and I can honestly say it was the best money spent so far!
The Seat Concepts seat is 100% worth it! It's been great riding with, way more comfortable. I can spend way more time on my DRZ than I could with the stock seat. Nice video!
Totally agree!
Just got a drz and after 25-30 miles I feel the need to stand that why I’m here
Just found this video. It’s well thought out, good audio, I’m probably in the same age range, and have picked up riding again. I appreciate this content and find it very relatable. Thanks for the video. Good stuff.
Thanks User X! I really do appreciate the feedback!
I've had my DRZ since 2006. I think it's finally time to upgrade the seat!
You wont regret it! Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to comment!
I have found the lowered seat forces me into a too-forward cramped position for off road, and sitting on the edge of the widened rear area in turns is also an issue. But otherwise, it is fantastic. Just remember to keep your butt on the higher rear portion unless you got a lot of rear traction. If the front end plows off-road you’re likely too far forward.
Best seat out there is the fisher seat from fishersaddlebags. Up to 12 inches wide and multiple colors to choose from. And way more comfortable seat than seatconcepts.
... and more than twice the price too!
How to order the USB bracket for the drz400, thank you so much for assisting me

What is the seat height before and after the seat concepts install? I'm 5"8, so I'm wondering if it lowers the seat enough for me.
the factory seat height is almost 37" (factory states 36.8"). The seat concepts seat lowers that to around 35". I'm 5"10 and its still a bit high to place both feet flat on the ground, but it perfectly manageable for me. Hope this helps and thank you for stopping by!
@Dual Sport Journey very helpful, thank you.
Great review. Also been a long time for me and I am thinking about a DRZ400SM and then convert to dirt. Either with tires or tires and wheels. Seems like a decent bike to get back into riding with for some off road and scenery fun?
Go for it! Turn your destination into a journey!
Why not just get the S model? Then the only thing you really have to do is put a knobbier tire on it.
@@DR4WZ they have different suspension and seat height and handlebars.
Was this the standard (low) ? Or one of the commuter? Or XL? Just looking for a size comparison
This is the standard "low". It drops the seat height by 1".
@@dualsportjourney thanks for the reply. I was more interested in the rear width. This one is a little wider than stock still. I was considering the XL or the Commuter but now I see that may be too wide. This looks perfect. But I’ll be going for the standard height I don’t want a low. I like my riding position. Thanks for the good info.
I just put mine on. I have 2021 drz400s. I am a little in between the height. I am 6'3 200 lbs. I can sure see and feel the difference between the two. How do you feel on the seat height with you legs? Are they bent considerably? I did put on dunlops 606 front and rear. Thanks for the video. Are you a tall rider like myself?
I'm squarely average height and since dropping the seat I have noticed my legs are bent more then I'm use to. I measured the distance between the pegs and the top of the seat and found the foot pegs set real high on the frame. Its actually a shorter distance then on my Son little KLX230! I may look for custom foot pegs that set lower... I think I've seen them somewhere, I just need to find them again.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking on getting the taller seat from them. Lol. I will have 3, But maybe I can sell the other one.
How tall are you?
5' 10"... hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by!
How much is the price
Please, the name of the site from which you requested the seat, please

I bought the seat comcepts seat for the XT 250 and it's just awful. I can't imagine anyone thought it would be better than the stock one
I put one on my DRZ400 and I can tell you it does not make $300 difference! Pretty much waste of money. The Corbin on my DR650 is much more comfortable.
Would NEVER buy anything of Seat Concepts again, after the Shitty Husky 701 seat I bought? and the Lack of after sales service? Appalling?
