Hey all bought another Yamaha yesterday . First time with riding the 2015 VK Pro I bought I noticed Im sitting fairly low in the seat . I read online in 2016 when they introduced the vk pro 2 they added a taller seat. I would like to have this seat or something similar. Has anyone done anything like this to achieve a higher rider position. Any info appriciated.

Probably be cheaper to take it somewhere that does auto upholstery and have them add foam to the seat pan and put a new cover on. Factory seats are ridiculously expensive, like any factory parts are.

Ya was hoping for something a little more factory looking, or a aftermarket seat , but the options don't seem to be there. Oh well.

Any reputable upholstery place can make you one that looks exactly like a factory seat. If they can't, find another one. It's not that hard for them.Ya was hoping for something a little more factory looking, or a aftermarket seat , but the options don't seem to be there. Oh well.

Yes many added a couple inches of firmer foam and a matching black upholstery looked very professional.
