TB; What were the pros and cons that made Ballz the choice for you? Looks great BTW
I can't give one single negative about the seat, but I haven't had it very long either. After a year or so maybe I'll be able to find a negative.
I believe piratedivejeff is correct about them actually being the work of New Image. I'm sure many on here could verify. The shipping address of where I sent the seat was differant than the ballz address. I did not know that but don't care. For no more the price, I don't see how ballz could be making much at all for helping them sell their seats. I liked that the ballz website had so many differant designs and the prices where listed right there.
I found them by doing searches here. Had lots of positive feedback about how they sit you lower into the bike and the foam comfort, etc...but I figure most any aftermarket seat would be similiar features in that department.
What really sold me on wanting to try out the seat was it was the only one I have seen that has that "bump" or "edge" part on the back of the seat.
I am having fun learning to lean my busa and one of the tips I read was to put yourself far up as possible to the front forks. Even at 6'1, there is almost 2 inches from the front of the pass seat and the back of my butt. I know its probably all in my head, but I didn't like that "falling off" feeling, especially when I rip the throttle. that little "bump" in the new seat is placed just right to make me feel like I'm sitting down into the bike like a comfortable saddle feeling. That little bump is not super hard but it does give some support to keep me positioned in the seat when I'm making the front end light.
Like most of us I've made purchases in the past and wasn't all that impressed after I tried it out, but this one is one I certainly am having no regrets about.
When you order they will take your height measurements, pant size, and all that jazz.
turn around time was litterally one day.
Hope that answers some questions for you.
