Just wondering if anyone has done this and how much of a pain in the butt it was to complete?

I was just going to get an OEM seat and pull it to bits and use the base to put some foam on it (whats best foam and where do I get it?)

I'm sliding around all over the place on the stock seat and it gets frustrating so I'm hoping the foam seat will provide some more grip. It's for the track so comfort isn't an issue.

for my 6r you can buy glass for the seat and replaces everything where the seat would be. which you just cut/stick foam to. *Edit* called superbike tails

hit up clark rubber for foam i'd imagine

yeh clarkes rubber, be carefull what type you get, cause some are way too grippy and hinders ya sliding, want a happy medium...

What he said.

If Clark Rubber is no good, try P J Bowers. You're probably after some kind of EVA foam

Nice one. You're a lot more meticulous than me so you'll probably come up with something better to do on the edges (mine are lifting- solved with racetape).

Keep us posted!

haha I dunno, I might end up going down the race tape road if I have to

you boys have given me an idea.. i wanted a sbk tail type seat to go with my glass so i am going to use a stock seat plus fiber glass etc to get a nice set up going. will be handy to be able to access the battery too without having to take the tail off!!

i find the stock seat too wide and too soft and it lessens the amount of feed back

the foam back protectors out of dririder(etc) jackets make awesome seats.

That's actually a very good idea cerb.

Also +1 to clark rubber. I got some gel inserts from them and cut out some of the foam on my pillion seat and inserted them so my gf ass dosnt take so much of a pounding while riding on the back.

Wait, that dosnt sound right.
