After reading the first review on the shad seat I knew right away that was what I wanted. The topsellerie seat was too bulkie, and too expensive. the Corbin seat has nothing but horror stories following it regarding fitment/install and the price was much higher.
I picked up my Shad front/rear Black/Great seat setup from SHADUSA. it was 325 + shipping, which came to 345. They ONLY ship UPS ground. which took about 3 days from Florida, to Connecticut.
Installation was perfect. the front seat only needs 2 rubber grommets with the metal inserts swapped from the original seat. The rear seat needs the main lockign bracket and 2 hook brackets swapped over from the original rear seat. The luggage straps are optional to switch over. I chose to swap mine because I do use it from time to time. I will remove it if my +1 doesn't like sitting on it.
Fitment was perfect, it clicked right into place and left no gaps
Comfort: Drivers seat is slightly less padded than stock but because it is slightly wider and flatter it is much more comfortable. It shifts you towards the back of the seat instead of the front, and it is very grippy. I will report on the passenger side comfort after she rides with me some more. It is much less angled, and wider and has the more "grippy" material.
Quality: The seats are super well made, stitching is perfect, the plastic molds underneath and staples are perfect. the FZ on the rear seat adds a bit of style which is very tasteful.
Price: Although 345$ may seem like a lot, I'd recommend this over any slip on exhaust because you will enjoy riding longer as apposed to just some extra noise. Comfort is Key.
I am very happy with the purchase and will report more in the next few weeks as I ride more with it and my +1
