I am in the need of a new seat cover or seat for my Hayabusa and I have just started looking. Has anyone here any experience with Saddlemen Seats?

The prices seem fair.

Thanks in advance.
 
I sat on a ZX14r in a showroom that had the Track seat with a relief channel. It was more narrower than stock, firmer, It had a suede cover, felt like Leather.
Another guy that makes a good seat is www.laamseat.com I have heard that he is back logged. Give him a call, especially, if you are looking for only a solo seat pad. Check out his seat gallery he has 2 styles of your Busa. Of course he can do anything you want. Laam used to work for the Mayer Family making motorcycle seats, then started on his own.
I have a couple of Bikes with Corbin's seats. They are hard. I use a Bead pad (homemade from a car seat pad) for traveling. Keeps my butt cool and dry in the rain. Might work on your stock seat.

I had one of their Adventure Track seats on my BMW. Sold it recently. It was two "tracks" with a groove down the middle. Actually for short term it was very comfortable. However they use gel inserts and on a long day ride the gel will eventually squirm out from where you are sitting making you uncomfortable. if it was just firm foam I would have kept it.

So, price was good. Two hour comfort was good.
 
I just got my new seats from Saddlemen. I got both a new driver seat and a complete new pillion seat. They added gel to the pillion also. Those people there are wonderful. Good quality workmanship and the material looks to be top shelf also. I have only had a chance to ride the bike 40 or 50 miles but the seat is MUCH more comfortable than the stock seat and I like it better than the OEM Gel Seat which I had on it for about 25,000 miles. I will post some photos of the seats when I get back from a trip to see my newest Grand Daughter. (Much more important than anything else, your grand kids)

If you are looking for a new seat, I would look into the Saddlemen Brand.
