Nice, I had a yzf600r and started looking at cbrs but when I saw a modded fz8 on craigslist I was intrigued. It got sold before I pulled the trigger, but I found one with 300mi in dekalb at a Harley dealer of all places. Decided to stick with the more comfortable upright seating and for my riding style it fits a lot better than a super sport would have. Getting older sucks, at 27 I already deal with back pain that I never thought at my age I would. I'll have to keep BBK in mind if I need factory work done and don't think I can handle it on my own. Typically I take mine to fornarelli to get tires mounted and do oil changes at home.
As for the seat. He does custom seat work so I imagine you can get whatever you ask for. I like what he did with the seat because it levels out the front and keeps your nuts from smashing into the tank. It did however raise the seat at least 2 inches which wasn't an issue for my height, but would be a problem if ur really short. The rear seat also got leveled out which makes carrying a passenger a lot more pleasant, but does change the looks of the back seat a lot. Otherwise if u ride solo you can have him just recover the existing rear seat for $20.00 less and it will have the lower profile. He is great at answering emails so shoot him an email describing what u want when it comes time and he will answer any questions.
