I got it through the brand showroom at BTM and had ordered it through them more than a month back.<\/p>\n<p>The cushioning is less on this like the stock seat from the looks of it. Sitting on it feels similar to the stock seat for now and I can tell for sure if it&#8217;s better after a ride. I can add extra cushion later if needed since the base is wide which should make it better.<\/p>\n<p>I rode in heavy traffic for an hour after fitting the seat and it will take a few more rides for me to assess this seat fully. My wife says it is better than the stock seat for the pillion. The other touring seat I had was not all that great for the pillion because of less area. Now with this seat, the backrest can be used comfortably as well which earlier was a bit far off for the pillion to rest on.<\/p>\n<p>I felt this seat suits the bike better than the stock one or the previous touring seat as well since it&#8217;s wide and goes with the bulky look of the bike.<\/p>\n<p>The bike has run 9050 km.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023\/interceptor-1_0.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023\/interceptor-3.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023\/interceptor-4.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/installed-touring-seats-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I felt this seat suits the bike better than the stock one and goes with the bulky look of the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237039,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Installed touring seats on my RE Interceptor 650: First impressions - AutoMotoBuzz.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/installed-touring-seats-on-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Installed touring seats on my RE Interceptor 650: First impressions - AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I felt this seat suits the bike better than the stock one and goes with the bulky look of the\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/installed-touring-seats-on-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-09-04T13:50:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Installed-touring-seats-on-my-RE-Interceptor-650-First-impressions-.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/installed-touring-seats-on-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/installed-touring-seats-on-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\/\",\"name\":\"Installed touring seats on my RE Interceptor 650: First impressions - AutoMotoBuzz.com\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-09-04T13:50:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-09-04T13:50:33+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/74db1979fe71b5ea01513ec1ce5bc609\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/installed-touring-seats-on-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/installed-touring-seats-on-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/installed-touring-seats-on-my-re-interceptor-650-first-impressions\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"News &amp;
