Suzuki hayabusa gel seat

[caffeen]

Anyone have any experience riding on the gel seat that Suzuki makes for the Hayabusa?

After talking to some other guys who bought that model and others, they regret it. Besides being an expensive piece of gel you can't really tell if it's any better. Some of them are trying to get rid of them (selling). Some like it, I guess, knowing what you paid for it, you HAVE to like it. I like the stock seat and for long rides is just as comfortable the way it is.

Well birdaprey,


I don't have one on my bike, but my riding buddy has one on his Busa. To me, that is a comfortable a$$ seat. No joke. It has more plush feel to it over stock. I have ridden his bike many times, and let me say that it's really a comfortable seat. I want to order one for myself, but since I have the Second Look seat skins, I'm not sure if they will fit over the gel seat. If I knew for sure that I could use my Second Look skin on the Gel seat, then I would order one in a minute. Just my .02, but it's sometime worth a million bucks.

I can't speak from personal experience because I still use and enjoy the factory seat. But other sport bike owners who do a lot of the sharp cornering manuvers (as in sliding your butt off to either side of the bike and having your knee drag on the ground) say that it hampers the "butt slide" quite a bit. Something you might want to think about if that is your style of riding.

I've tried the Corbin and don't love it. The Gel seat is next to try on my list so if anyone is selling one used let me know.

I have a gel seat... I took my stock seat to a upholsterys shop.  Let me put it to you this way, He threw the sheet of gel on top of a bar stool (no padding) and tossed a HUGE SET OF KEYS ON TOP OF THE GEL AND I SAT ON IT and I didn't even feel the keys.  He removed the old fabric and put the over the stock foam pad and recovered the seat in leather.  As far as size goes; the gel can be cut to fit any seat.  Looks awesome and rides great.  The first ride was oh about 750 miles for the weekend.  NO PAINS.  Oh yeah before any one asks.... I had both seats done for about $200 while denniskirk.com wanted $230 for a corbin front seat.  I have no regrets about it

the gel seat is the bomb!!!!

I always compare it to sitting on my couch...I have no complaints when riding 100mi without stopping....

the only thing I dislike is that it kinda holds moisture if you seat gets wet...your a$$ will get wet...

I replaced the stock seat with a Tobin seat and have not complaints. Great craftsmanship and quality. I also opted for the hump-pad. Check out the pic.
