The pic of the seat you put there is the stock seat. The other seat is Top Sellerie, made in France.

This is the stock seat in case anyone is wondering. Has anyone had luck selling seats on eBay? Not sure if it's worth paying to list them..

I dont know the model but it's a gel seat. Dont remember if it was high or low.

I have 2 sets of seats, like new condition. The top sellerie was used for 10 km and I didn't like it. The stock has about 1000km on it and looks great. Both sets for $400 CAD/ $300 USD

Have you tried calling wreckers/salvage yards? Might be able to find one off an R1 or FZ6 FZ1? We have a great guy out here called Oshawa Cycle Salvage http://oshawacycle.com/ call and see if you can email a pic maybe?

How do I look you up? Links?

Thanks for the recommendation on the Road 4. Looked it up and looks like a great tire. I would only venture onto gravel roads to find camp sites and maybe look at other sites of interest. It's probably be better to take my Frontier 4x4 but I gotta at least try to look at this option lol. The...

Im thinking of touring across Canada in July. I may be doing a bit of gravel roads (probably less than 1 percent). Will a belly pan / rad guard help much? What tires should I get? Is there anything I can do with the suspension? I know the FZ8 is no ADV bike but hey it's what I have and I love my...

Where did you run out of gas? Youve peaked my interest now Id like to know where you went lol.

How was your comfort level going cross country? With the shad seat i was really comfortable doing 2500km in 4 days. Im wondering if i could endure a month of it. Not sure if anyone else would agree but heated grips are a must for touring and i have been happy with my heat deamons for 2 years now.

Welcome!

Oh not this time. I bought the tar remover and tried gas and mineral spirits. The shit was baked on good. To boot, when I wiped it off the top of my fenders they got scratched up pretty bad. Up to that point i took pride in keeping my bike immaculate.

My long trip through northern ontario was hard on the engine and exhaust. Gunk everywhere. Rode through a million tar patches where the entire sections of road has loose tar and at one point rode through freshly oiled tar so I had a hard time cleaning that up. Would the belly pan have protected...

I like this look: http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/news/ktm-superduke-1290-r-official-pictures-photo-gallery-51786_1.jpg Maybe I should just invest $25000 for the exhaust, and get the superduke with it too!
