I purchased a zx14 for my fiance and I to do some 300-400 mile rides on and I am wondering what seat you would recommend for 2 up riding, TOBIN or a CONCOURS seat? Thanks

I can only speak for the Connie seat that I put on mine, but its a dream. 100 times better than the stock seat

Tobin!!

Don't discount the Sargent seat. The others look liek they are great seats, and so is the Sargent. I had one on my ZRX and just got the new modular seat for my ZX. Very comfortable and very well made.

I have a Corbin. Very comfortable riding across the US last year. About 1 inch lower than stock.

Corbin seats are "ok", but I wouldn't give Corbin the time of day. Worst customer service policies of anybody in the motorcycle business I know of.

The $90 I paid Spencer to mod my stock seat is the best $90 I ever spent on a motorcycle.

This Tobin seat has sparked a bit of interest with me. The website doesn't show if it's a drivers only seat or does it extend under the rear seat cowling. If anyone has one of these, please chime in and post a pic or two.

Re:The $90 I paid Spencer

Who / where is spencer?
Can you provide any info?

Comes back looking so close to stock you can't tell the difference unless you have two side-by-side. Having put a few hundred miles on mine now, I can really tell the difference. My hands and feet will give out long before my butt does. Heh.

For $90, he put a better foam gel in the rider section, with a rear bias, and a different foam gel in the passenger section which conforms to the passenger better than stock.

is the CONCOURS seat a direct fit?

(good to see we're back !)

You need to switch the seat brackets on the bottom of the seat front and back - other than that it is a direct fit.
