Hello! Is there anyone out there knowing difference between seats -55 and -56 on. I read the 56 is longer, but what is the length of the - 55 seat. Cheers Nisse

Hi Nils, measured from my bikes the '54 is 23 3/4" and the '56 26", I guess you would prefer 603 and 660mm. respectively.

My wife flatly refuses to go on the '54 and grumbles about the '56

A point of interest. All these seats, ie the years mentioned, the seat base is parallel to the top, there are seats about where the top rises towards the back. They look horrible, so beware.
