I'm looking to see if anyone has changed their seat for an aftermarket. I contacted corbin, and the representative keeps giving me links to the gsxr. So yea

What are you looking for in a new seat?

You have to search for GSR seats. And it will most likely have to be shipped internationally. I don't think the gsxs has been in the American market long enough to to see the amount of r&d that the GSR has seen. I've definately send some aftermarket seats for the GSR tho.

I currently have an email in to Shad to find out about getting their comfort seat here in the states. I'll report back what I find. I did 8 hours (361 miles) on this bike last Saturday and though it was do-able I would've liked a little more comfort in the seat department.

I just recently saw an add on facebook for a new seat saddlemen is offering, and it looks worth it! problem is they only make it for the gsxs 1000. I emailed them to find out if we can expect a seat for the 750! Here is a link to the seat www.saddlemen.com/gp-v1/

Saddlemen makes good stuff. Would be sweet if they decided to make something for us. I just don't think the demand is high enough.

Shoot them an email I'm sure if we get a decent amount of us to do so odds will be better in our favor!

Email sent. You're right, if enough of us hit them up for one maybe they'll start making them.

That's Bull, I personally do not want a pad to put over my seat! It's very upsetting that the lack of interest all these companies have in our bike.

They were very helpful looking up part numbers and getting me the parts I was looking for. Many companies make stuff they just haven't listed them in their sites.

This bike didn't sell well here at all so I don't see anything getting better in the aftermarket even in a year or two. I would be willing to bet that Suzuki pulls this model from the US market very soon. I would be absolutely shocked if we see a 2017 here even if they completely revamped it.

I honestly don't care what Suzuki does i'm going to hold on to this bike for a while I'd rather pay 54 a month for insurance compared to about 190ish for a gsxr

I'm not downing the bike at all. I really like it and my insurance is cheaper than the insurance was when I had the FZ-09.
Really the only thing I don't like about it so far is the seat but the FZ-09's seat sucked too, haha.
