i just replaced mine with one of the suzuki gel seats. I had to find on ebay since they are discontinued but so far it seems pretty good.

my katana isnt to bad but a gel seat would be sweet :>

**Louis** · 07-01-2005, 01:32 PM

Stock, it's comfortable.

Jkendall · 07-03-2005, 12:54 AM

My stock seat is omforatble for me, but the passenger seat SUCKS! I feel sorry for anyone who wants to ride with me. I put on a sissy bar/pad and that helped. Tried a gel seat which made the bike too tall and it was harder than a rock, so I sent it back. I am still trying to figure out what to do to make it safer for the passenger. I've got a couple ideas, so I guess I'll have to experiment.

Stock...& comfy!

leansipper · 07-06-2005, 04:08 AM

i still have tha stock seat, its ok. im going to need an aftermarket seat soon...this PHX sun will have this seat tore up after a while!

Mavman · 08-30-2005, 06:44 PM

fairily comfy........for about an hour!

**drgibson** · 08-30-2005, 08:00 PM

Yup comfy. Bought a Mustang seat.

Roaddog · 09-10-2005, 12:34 PM

Mines good but it's a corbin

icarus13 · 09-10-2005, 04:26 PM

Stock seat is good for short trips but I think a longer one would be tiring on the tail. I voted based on no long trips with this bike.

ZukiChaos · 09-11-2005, 08:11 PM

The seat is ok for short trips except you sit UPON it, not IN it. I like a seat that makes you feel one with the bike.

nhoel · 09-11-2005, 10:20 PM

Seat is really good for the driver... but my passengers say their sit is a pain!!!

Uechi Kid · 10-18-2005, 03:59 PM

. Took a two hundred mile ride the other day an only my left cheek fell asleep.

ScooterC · 08-05-2006, 09:02 PM

The stock seat was makin' my ass numb. The Mustang seat feels great! Probably could ride to the end of the earth with it.

Apertureguy · 08-09-2006, 08:52 AM

I still have the stock seat...and yeah after about an hour or two...my butt freaking hurts. Although...after the 4k miles I just got her up to...it's better than when I started riding her. So, I'm sure it's something which I will get used to...but I'll still pick up a ButtBuffer at the bike meet in October.

Hey, I'm old and if I don't pamper myself...who will?

Smurf · 08-09-2006, 09:39 AM

Corbin, at first it was hard as a brick, but now that it's broke in all day rides are not a problem.

Oh,,,,,and I got it before the price increase.

blackie1491 · 08-09-2006, 12:30 PM

I just switched to a Mustang and it was worth the $'s.

I have the stock seat. My butt would be sore after an hour. I would rest for about 10 min and get back on. that would be good for about another hour. So on and so on. I now have 2000 miles on the seat and I'm good for about 2 hours. Still seeing a mustang in the near future, if they make one.
