Heyyyyy...Me too! :D I had Eddie do my seat, and I absolutely love it. Was a bit pricey after all the shipping back and forth to Canada- with customs fee's etc, but I love it very much. I"m going to do a review and put some pics up soon of the DirtRoads upgrade. Cheers BigO

Hey there everyone..... Just wanted to let you know I just found that Seat Concepts have finally made a foam/cover for the FZ8/Fazer 8! I've used their products on other bikes and they do an awesome job. Here's a link :) Seat Concepts - Products Let me know if you guys try it and like it...
