Seat conversion for your BMW K1100RS & K1100LT
The legendary K1100RS / K1100LT models promise touring comfort and sporting ambitions alike. Still, many riders encounter insufficient padding, unpleasant edges or seats that are too narrow. With a custom-planned seat conversion at Hornig we can specifically optimise comfort, fit and appearance — including the option to shape your seat wider or narrower.
Our conversion variants for K1100RS / K1100LT
- Foam optimisation & contour adjustment – we change shape, depth, edges and contour to create harmonious padding and transitions.
- New cover & customisation – standard with non-slip materials in black; optional colour variants, embossing or logos available.
- Seat heating retrofit – two-stage heating for rider and passenger, perfectly combinable with your conversion.
- Universal comfort cushion – a quick immediate solution if you want noticeably more comfort without a full rebuild.
- Width adjustment – on request we make your seat a few millimetres wider or narrower to fit your stature optimally.

Materials & design options
For your seat conversion we use robust, weatherproof and slip-resistant cover fabrics and foams. On request we implement design variants with contrast stitching, colour accents or individual embroidery — tailored to your style and comfort preferences.
Technical notes & processing time
The complexity depends on the original construction (e.g. removable cover, existing foam structure, heating). As a rule, we plan a total duration of about 2 weeks including shipping and return shipping for your seat conversion.
Why a seat conversion for K1100RS / K1100LT makes sense
The K1100 series delivers riding pleasure and comfort, yet stock seats rarely meet every individual need. Through targeted adjustments — improved pressure distribution, bespoke padding, optimised width — you gain clear benefits: fewer pressure points, more relaxed seating, better control in corners and a consistent seating feel even on long distances. Frequent and long-distance riders in particular will notice the difference immediately.
FAQ – frequently asked questions
Do I have to send in my original seat?
Yes — for conversion, re-covering, heating retrofit or width adjustment we need your existing seat so we can precisely adapt shape, dimensions and mounting points.
How long does the conversion take?
The complete process — including shipping and return shipping — typically takes about 2 weeks.
What differences will I notice after the conversion?
Many of our customers report significantly reduced pressure points, less numbness, a more relaxed seating posture, more stable support in corners and a secure stance at stops — all without losing the characteristic style of your K1100RS / K1100LT.
