Seat modification for your BMW G650GS
Whether for everyday use or off-road tours: an optimized seat can significantly improve comfort and control. With a targeted seat modification we transform your seating area so that pressure loads are reduced, seating posture is optimised and longer rides become noticeably more comfortable — all without altering the original appearance of your G650GS.
Our offer for your G650GS
- Seat conversion (one-piece) – we adapt padding shape, contour and seat height exactly to your requirements (firmness, profile, height).
- Reupholstering – non-slip standard cover in black; on request colour accents, decorative stitching or individually embroidered patterns are possible.
- Seat heating retrofit – a two-stage heating solution as an optional comfort upgrade, matched to the conversion.
- Universal seat cushion – a quick and easy solution if you want to increase comfort immediately without a full conversion.
Seat modification process
- Choose the service you want (conversion, reupholstering, heating).
- Complete the seat data sheet or form with your details (e.g. desired height, contour, firmness).
- After review, send your seat to us. Shipping and return are handled by Hornig.
Materials & customisation
As standard we use weatherproof, slip-resistant upholstery fabrics that ensure durability and secure grip. On request we can produce variants in different synthetic leathers, contrast stitching or seat lettering (“GS”, model designation, etc.) to enhance your BMW G650GS visually and ergonomically.
Technical notes & processing time
Depending on the seat construction, a conversion (e.g. installing a heater) can be more complex — especially if the cover cannot be removed or reupholstering is required. Please allow approximately 2 weeks for the entire process including shipping.
Why a dedicated seat modification for the G650GS makes sense
The G650GS combines versatility on road and off-road. However, stock seats seldom offer maximum comfort. With tailored padding optimisation you achieve noticeably better pressure distribution, less fatigue on long rides and improved control — particularly on uneven terrain.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Do I have to send in my seat?
Yes — for conversion, reupholstering or heater retrofit, sending the existing seat to Hornig is required.
How long does the conversion take?
The conversion typically takes about 2 weeks — including shipping and return shipping.
