We just got back from a ride and the wife is in love with this new seat. Of course a longer ride will be a real test but she's pretty stoked right now.

[@BrianSmith-ql5nj]

Muffler looks way better than stock. Thats the only feature of this bike i hated, the stock muffler looks like a styling afterthought.

[@user-zy5tt8nu9h]

I think Corbin seat is the best. I installed Colbin in stead of stock and was very glad. I wish you to do the same.

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

No chance, I tried two Corbin seats and hated them. Ill never go there again, such a huge waste of$$$ for my butt. 🙂

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

So Im going to continue on with this build but build it out for me. My wife still shows no interest in riding on the street since I bought her a couple of trail bikes. Cant say I blame her. Anyway the build is 90% there but I want to install a rear shock, probably a YSS (unless there is something better out there) and do a full Race Tech front end on it. I also want to do something about the light clutch pull (the only think I dislike on this bike) . I think some stiffer clutch springs might be in order. Update, just ordered Barnett heavy duty clutch plates and springs as well as a YSS rear shock.

Nice looking bike. I really like that paint scheme. I may have to pick up one of those seats for my V-x 300. I rode 120 miles this morning. I had to stop for a break because my butt was killing me.

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

Thanks, yeah no seat complaints from the wife yet. :-)

[@JTinGA]

Hey man - weren't you on the versys forum a while back (Goes Like H*** Shelby?) How is your Versys ... I put a used Corbin on mine, and looking at this delkevic. There's a guy in Ohio that has a tune for a full exhaust and dna filter with airbox opened up -- dyno tested around 25% HP gain. Hope you are well !

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

@@JTinGA Nope not me.

[@JTinGA]

@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC Sorry MIke - I meant that for @glhs592 😉

[@GLHS592]

@@JTinGA Yeah, I posted there a few times. I still like my Versys-x. I've put around 2100 miles on it since April. It's been fun hitting the back roads.

[@Fiatmannen1]

So in europe we got the taller seat as standard. I find it hard but comfortable, in the us u get the lower seat for some reason.

[@advmike]

I picked up a Seat Concepts for the Himi a few weeks before I got the Norden. Then when it showed up I was like “Oh yeah… 😅😬”

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

Pretty much what happen with this Versys seat, "Oh yeah".....LOL I was excited thinking it was the seat for the Himalayan.

[@-runningwithscissors-9766]

It;s pronounced Dell Kuhvitch per phone conversation with the manufacturer.

[@chrisr8066]

Nice looking bike, I have the 2017. Love the nose piece, would you mind telling me where you got it? Thx

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

If you search for Kawasaki Versys 300 Beak at aliexpress it will come up. Thanks for watching.

[@JTinGA]

Mike - what size Delkevic is that? 17 or 18" ? (They have several options ... just counting my pennies and dreaming a little about that exhaust ... like the sound 👍)

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

Its a 14" full system but I ended up using the OEM header because of the skid plate. Thanks for watching. "Delkevic Kawasaki Versys X 300 Full 2-1 Stainless Steel Exhaust 14" Oval Muffler"

[@geebeex300]

Thanks for sharing! I have the '23 model and ordered the SC seat too, what size staples did you use?

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

I think they are 3/8s. I’ll check.

[@geebeex300]

The staples on there now are 5mm x 5mm

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

Yeah my gun uses 3/8s and the staples I’ve used on five seats now are indeed 3/8s x3/8s inch (9ish mm).

[@geebeex300]

@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC Great, thanks for checking!

[@jhackett9482]

Got the seat concepts seat for mine and it’s just as hard and uncomfortable as stock. Leans forward and is higher so it’s even worse. I have drilled the seat which made it better but I think I need to dish it some. Love the bike but don’t understand how it can be so uncomfortable to ride.

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

I’ve didn’t find the stock seat terrible. Not good but not bad. The Seat Concepts is now an all day seat for me. How much do you ride? Sometimes it’s a matter of getting in shape or acclimated to riding more. I ride just about every day. Usually 120 miles or more.

[@kokorico4]

Hey man great video, I love that bike! Where did you get the beak for it and could you share the link? Looks good in my opinion

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

I think that beak came from aliexpress. If you search for "For KAWASAKI Versys300 Versys X300 Versys X-300 Motorcycle Accessories Matte Black ABS Headlight Fairing front Retrofit fender" It should come up. Thanks for watching.

[@kokorico4]

Thanks, I'm thinking of buying this bike as my first bike, so I've been enjoying all of your videos of the Versys

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

@@kokorico4 Its a great bike for a first bike or a last bike. LOL I know plenty of people that have move back to a smaller, lighter bike like the Versys 300 from large heavy adventure bikes. The future is less weight! :-)

[@irwanfareed889]

Where do you buy the winglet front?so nice look like gs

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

The beak? I think that beak came from aliexpress. If you search for "For KAWASAKI Versys300 Versys X300 Versys X-300 Motorcycle Accessories Matte Black ABS Headlight Fairing front Retrofit fender" It should come up. Thanks for watching.

[@acuramandan]

So the Seat Concepts includes a different foam, correct? Did you order the medium foam density or a variation? How's the Seat Concept feel on a long ride now? Great mods, Thanks!

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

Yes it came with foam. It’s miles better than the OEM seat. It’s comfortable now for at least a couple hours. The stock seat was brutal after about an hour.

[@acuramandan]

So I see on the seat concept website, they offer 3 different materials on the X300 seat. Do you have any recommendations on which one is best. Thanks!

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

@@acuramandan Honestly I think I ordered what ever came up as default. LOL. I have them on four bikes now and have never picked anything other than the default materials.
