Terry's Custom Seat's Flat Seat For Versys 1000 by weljo2001, on FlickrNope, Just keep some tools, zip ties and electrical charging cords. Nothing major or expensive in them. I just use a few zip-ties on each strap to keep it more secure on the hand rails....I also leave my GPS on the bike when i not on the bike and have for almost 9 years without an issue so far....

Looks comfy, but having trouble getting past the oversize look of the seat from the side of the bike. It looks disproportionately large compared to the size of the bike.
The build quality looks great though!

Terry Adcox Seat and Utopia Backrest
Received my Terry Adcox modified flat bucket seat. With Utopia backrest. Too cold to ride, but just sitting in the garage I could already feel that the seat was not causing me to slide forward. And the backrest feels great. So far so good!!

I leaned forward on my Versys.

The backrest is adjustable, so it can be set to nudge right up to your back. I've adjusted my Gold Wing Utopia backrest in the past for that reason. This one feels just right, although I've not ridden the bike yet. Just sat on it in the garage.
I was happy in my garage, although the real test will be several hours in the saddle. Which unfortunately probably won't happen for another month or so.

I am curious that when you are sitting on the seat against the backrest can you easily grab the grips without curving forward.
Some people add risers or change bars to get them closer to you. That is what the pullback measure of a bar does. You have height, width, and pullback.

Your new seat reminds me of a couple of bikes that I had Seth Laam make seats for.
Just like yours the new seat made a world of difference.
Turned an ass burner into an all day rocket.

I requested to be put on Terry's waiting list for a Full Single Bucket seat with +1" height, (I feel cramped on the bike). I'm getting it for my long rides.
Build ETA is end of April 2020.
I have the front 3D print seat riser block for the stock seat. I can barely handle my 1 hour daily commute with the stock seat. I start fidgeting sometimes, when I get close to my exit.
I had a Corbin seat for my power cruiser and went coast to coast and back, about 7,000 miles in 10 days without the monkey butt.
So, I ordered a Sargent Seat today for now. Should get it in a week.
