Too bad that they both look so nice. If one was much better looking it would be easier. I bet it will be hard to choose which one to keep, unless one is uncomfortable.

I vote the TS - I am thinking of getting one, even though I know a few of you have had issues. They did seem to sort it all out in the end.
I think they look soooo good.

Great work on the thread.

JMan, another question.... do you think the weight of the seat(s) make any difference to whatever vibration you may feel in that area? How about whether you feel any heating from the exhaust?
I don't really feel much of any vibration with either seat. Also, don't feel much of any exhaust heat either. With the carbon fiber Leo's, though, I'm not sure that is the best test variable. When I first put the Leo exhaust in, noticed a big difference in heat (much less) - especially on my legs.
Went for a much longer ride today on the Corbin seat. Feels like it is starting to break in a little. Still really appreciating how the seat is so form-fitting to the bike and follows the natural lines of it. Even though the seat is firm, I'm still not feeling those same pressure points that were on the stock seat. Going to try and break it in some more tomorrow. Teeter and I are going to Williamsburg. That should log some good miles on the seat.

Is your corbin seat customized?

I asked them to make it without the rear passenger backrest latch assembly (wife will never ride with me & I don't care for the look of it anyway) and had the materials chosen as black leather with the CF look trim.
After a 155 mile ride today on the Corbin, I have decided to keep it. Very tough decision, but I am going to be selling the Top Sellerie seat. No need for me to have 3 seats. I will be asking $350.00 plus shipping (this is much less than I paid for it by at least $150.00). Would prefer to ship within the North American Continent if anyone is interested. It is a lowered TS seat in all back with CF look piping and trim (plenty of pictures in this thread).

Very cool of you not to 'stick' a fellow member for the full pop on the seat, JMan.
Congrats, Brenda!
Wow! Brenda got a steal! Way to be Justin! Kudos to you and congrats to Brenda!! :thumbup:
Brenda, just for your own awareness: As I am a very particular person, I had sealed those inside inner corners with black RTV (silicone) to prevent any future wear & tear issues and also to keep the staples from scratching the tank. The tongue on the stock pan had been cut down a little bit (not sure why), but it did not effect the stability/fit onto my bike. Please see pics.

Thanks a bunch Jman, now I can put a big check-mark next to the "Better FZ6 Seat" on Brenda's Christmas list. I was considering trying a custom builder I've used in the past, but was wondering how I was going to send off her seat pan without her noticing.

Sorry Dean. Maybe Teeter would let you try his when we meet up at some point in the future. You are still welcome to try mine out.

is his lowered as well? i have the standard TS. i'm just wondering how much of a difference there is. from pics it looks like they move the "backrest" up on the lowered seats. i'm also curious to know if there is a comfort difference.

Nice thread. Glad everything worked out for everyone.

Go ARMY!!!
Thanks, I was on the fence between the two seats. Guess Corbin is getting my money.
