Wheeling Hypermotard Seat

Came across a Wheeling Cycle Supply seat on Ebay. It was used , but being sold by Wheeling. I have 2 stock seats I've been thinking about sending down one for then to do, but this was half the price.

Wheeling seat closest DP comfort in the middle, and stock on the far end.

I have been using the DP comfort seat it's the widest, and thinnest of 3, but it's been feeling like the foam is losing a little spring. The Wheeling seat is right in the middle between the stock and comfort. I think I'm going to like it. I also had owned the DP race seat, that felt like you were riding on a fence rail.

Side by side with DP Comfort


I'll be using the Wheeling for IMOC on Sunday.

Interesting. Thanks for the comparison!

I've been debating b/w the DP comfort and the Sargent, I didn't even realize there was another option...

I debated on those too, and went with the dp comfort because it looks a lot more sporty, is half the price, and doesn't look like it belongs on a cruiser (sargent). Mine's on order direct from Ducati, should have it in a couple of weeks.

I rode 30 miles or so on the Wheeling seat. The foam feels firmer than the comfort seat. Which I like and have ridden on for at least 17,000 miles. I have a longer ride on Sunday, 200+ miles. That will be the deciding factor on which seat I use to ride to Alabama next month for Ducstock.
