Talking Thin seat
Anyone have an idea on where to get a COMFORTABLE seat for my FZ6? I can ride for 45min to an hour and my unpadded rump starts to ache. Who makes a really good padded seat that you may have used or heard about? THX, GRUMPY

Re: Thin seat
Too bad you suffer on your bike like that. I can ride it for hours on end without any problems. My friends hate me for it, because I never want to stop for a drink or a break, I want to keep going forevah

I don't know anything about padded seats, but I've read about them in the past, so you should be able to find one. Good luck and let us know how you like it.

Re: Thin seat
I've had good luck with wearing a pair of bicycle shorts (with the padded seat) under my motorcycle pants. You can actually get ones that are designed to be worn under regular shorts to turn any pair of shorts into bicycle shorts, and those fit quite comfortably under the motorcycle pants. They are usually labeled as liners and are a much thinner weight material that the regular bicycle shorts, but still have the full padding in the seat!

Re: Thin seat
A lot of people say the Corbin FZ6 seat is too slippery and angles too steeply from the back. They make great cruiser seats but it does not look as if they have got the FZ6 right yet. I cannot say from personal experience as I have the lowered FZ6 seat....don`t ask you cannot get it in the USA and it is too expensive to import from Europe.

Bagster makes a great looking FZ6 seat and I have only heard good things about it.

Open the link and put the year of your bike in and then click on Make your own seat. The rest is obvious.

Re: Thin seat
I've read these are really comfortable seats......
Saddle for motorbike, cover petrol tank, satchels, overalls for scooter
I have a Corbin, shaved, cause I'm vertically challenged , dealer paid for my Corbin, but I would like to try the Top Saddlery one someday. The Corbin is really slippery especially with my textile pants, it is more comfortable than stock softwise though. Can't comment on slope cause I'm always at edge of tank anyway......sucks to be short.

You could always build your own (DIY - Custom Saddle).

I bought the Yamaha comfort seat. It has made a huge difference (I have no natural padding hehe). Corbins are nice, my husband has one for his ZZR, but I didn't want to spend $439 for my bike... Good luck.

Re: Thin seat
I rarely get a sore butt on my bike but a couple of times lately i have

are u sure its cozzed by a bony butt

on every occasion i tried to work out why coz it does not normally hurt and found out its the hairs on my butt that get pulled by my leathers when im sweaty

here in scotland that does not happen a lot but some of u yanks must have it real hot

try wearing boxers or cycling shorts and see if it helps before spending a lot of money on a seat

I put a coat of talc on the inside bum of my leathers and its not been sore for a month

sorry to bring the tone of the conversation down to gutter levels hehe
