    I purchased the seat from them as well as a bunch of others on the forum. I have no complaints. Great price and quick shipping. I had my seat within a week.

    Shad seat color?

    Forget the looks. Just wait until you go for a long ride and your boys dont go numb after 45 minutes like they do on the stock seat.

    Shad seat color?

    The pin stripes are vinyls and the stiching is thread so its not a 100% match but its about as close as you can get IMO.

    FZ8 Replacement seat

    I dont believe so. If it is, I didnt notice. It's not a seat with increased padding, its a seat with a wider shape to distribute your weigh more evenly.

    FZ8 Replacement seat

    +1 on the Shad seat. I bought mine a couple months ago and it is night and day from the stock seat. Before I could ride about an hour then would need to pull over because the seat was killing me. I rode 2+ hours the other night and at no point did I even think about the seat. The seat is a...

    Gold Rims

    I wouldn't Plastidip. I've done the rims on my car and after a while, it starts to look like crap. It doesnt come off as easy as they make it look in the videos either. Most of your wheels are covered up by the brakes and swing-arm any way so you wont see much of the paint. If you want to dress...

    Shad Seat Review #2

    I have used my Shad for about 300 miles and it is a serious upgrade. I am 280 lbs and the stock seat would kill me after about an hour. It took a little getting used to but I love the new seat. Got mine on Ebay for $210 (shipping included) for the blue stitched one. The grey and white...

    Im Fat Yall. I need advice

    This may be a dumb question but you don't have ride with your wallet in your back pocket do you? If you do, stop. Sitting on your wallet whether it be riding, driving or sitting in a chair is bad for your back.
