Left and ride side pics. I think I have pics before dipped if wanted.

Pair of FJR side cases with locks. They are grey but I plasti dipped them flat black. Used these when I would road trip on the tracer. Not exactly sure what would it cost to ship these but I have boxes for them. These are prior pics last season before I sold the bike. $300 obo. Which these fit and worked on the new gen tracers. Pics attached. Updated pics added.

Anyone have a stock 21/22 tracer 9gt seat front and back they want to part with? Need something while mine gets redone. Not sure how long it’s going to take. I am guessing there are a few seats sitting on shelves in garages taking up space. Located in Indiana. Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

Is the shad a plate that just bolts on like some of the others? The former gen racks had supportive arms and were rock solid.

So I purchased a 22 model and am looking at adding the usual accessories. I currently have a 19 with the rear rack installed and there appears to be what looks like a major difference. The 21-23 model seems so much weaker than the prior years or am I completely wrong. I wouldn’t be hauling anything heavy but just adding a “plate” with the two bolts seems like an afterthought to me. Also shameless plug for my 19 tracer listed in the for sale section. Thought on the rear rack as an add on for the newer gen’s??

Well back from my trip using my new seat. I had only spent a couple hours on the bike so this was go time. I did 5400 miles in 13 days. Indiana to California and back making a few side zig zags to see some areas. Seat was great and no pain or hot spots for me. Hips and back feel good. I did use forward pegs some that I have attached to my crash bars. At this time I have to say I am glad I spent the money. I was really not sure if it would make a difference but I know compared to my trips in the past my body feels great. Seat held up great and zero complaints from me. Didn’t use an air hawk or any other kind of covering. Just my .02.

Last time I looked at his FB page he was not taking any orders he rest of this year at all. Cited health reasons. Didn’t say who’s health or any details. There is/ was a lot of well wishing.

Yes it took out the forward slope. Nice and comfy so far. Rode today about 4 hours and it feels great. I was using the Yamaha comfort seat while Seth had it. I can say it’s much better. I think he had my seat about 6 weeks total. Little longer than I was hoping for but I kind of what I expected. He is busy however he answers calls and questions anytime. Hard to tell in the pics I posted but I did carbon look top and silver stitching. I didn’t have the passenger seat built custom but the rear seat is redone to match and is also much nicer than stock. Right before the “build” he calls you and chat about what you like and don’t like about the stock seat etc. So far I am happy with the looks and comfort.

Absolutely. I have $460 (which includes the return shipping in that) in it and have only rode for a couple of hours. Feels great. In couple weeks heading out for a multi week cross country ride. That will be the true trial by fire.

Just received my seat back from Laam. First impressions are great. Going to put it to the real long distance test in a couple of weeks.

I agree with the above posters. Typically I would say about 1500 too high but the market is demanding more money right now. I recently bought a 2019 tracer and paid more than I typically would have during prior years (pre market spoke). But I was also not going to do without just to save a few dollars. Buy it if it’s what you want and write it off as the cost of doing business would be my vote. However I would also think the 7000 would be total investment after taxes. Maybe you can talk them into a set of OEM side cases at that price?
