sport seat

[joloy133]

I am thinking of replacing my seat and found this company. Will do a custom application for the FZ6R, $259. If someone beats me to it please post up. They do accessories too! Saddlemen Motorcycle Seats, Luggage and Accessories

Looks nice. You should get a different color besides black to match our bikes. Also see if you can get the Yamaha Logo/Symbol or FZ6R on the seat.

Where did you find out the cost on these seats? I would def buy one too! Have been looking for a different seat since I got the bike. Will need one before my cross country trip to arizona and back end of the summer!

Called customer service and talked to rep. You have to arrange a shipping and pay arrangement, before you mail in your seat (they use yours as the bike is too new). Turn around is one week as of today.

Very cool. Are you going to send them your seat? I think I just might when I get it back from the shop

Don't want to pass a week w/o riding, weathers great here. Am looking to pickup a used one first. First rainy week it may go in, (stock seat not bad till 2hours into a ride).

agreed, I put 300 miles on the bike Sunday, and could have done another 300 with no problems. I have a sheepskin seatpad I am going to throw on there from alaskaleather.com and see how I like that. I might look into another seat option if that does not satisfy me.

Corbin makes a seat as well. A bit more pricey, but Corbin has always been a good company.

And here is a thread about a member that got the seat made.

The only thing I don't like about the corbin is that it is 1 piece. I like two peice seats.

I'm having a local seat maker put 1" of memory foam in my seat. The result will look just like stock, only much more comfortable. All in, $90 Canadian. Just dropped it off today, so I'll post some pictures when I get it back.

 

[Newmason]

Pizz very awesome! Let us know how it works out

 

[toekneedee]

Just got my seat back from Spencers. I got the Supracor LD upgrade. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I liked it on my old Duc ST2. Looks virtually the same as stock and doesn't store heat like gel. Worth a try for $75 plus shipping. Check out GreatDayToRide.com if interested

Here's another site for seats. They specialize in watercraft but now doing sportbikes. They will do our bikes and can add foam or gell for additional price, totalling $100 or so. Call to set up arrangements and customization. Worth a look too. Hydro-Turf-Performance Traction Products

Got my seat back

I had my local seat upholsterer put an inch of memory foam in my stock seat. Total cost was $90.

Got it back today:

I'll need to wait for a 4+ hour ride to see how it really works.

It'll be a while. It was nice enough to ride yesterday, but it's getting cold for the next couple weeks.

no worries, just giving u shite...

Do you at least have anything to say about it? Better? Softer? Not too many of us here plan 4+ hour rides, but I'd like to know what you think of it right now compared to stock.

Well, weeks after getting mine, a couple of us did the skyline trip, for me, it was over 10 hours from start of the day 'till I got home.... needless to say, I was a little sore the next day, and not just my seat. But yeah, in general an hour or two is the norm.

I'm definitely looking for some more padding, even if it's just a strap down cover, my hour commute would probably be a little more comfortable.
