Russell has a sport option that is not quite as wide, but if you are going to spend big bucks on a Russell seat, why not get the more comfortable version? Nah just too damn ugly and old man looking, plus I find my Bagster seat to be very good looking and very comfortable as well. I think the 21 and up Tracer is a bit fugly, but the original FJ and Tracer 900 GT look quite pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtrot722 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Thanks for all the information, I just received a comfort seat set from someone on here that had it for sale. received and looked brand new. Looking forward to a test ride. I'm still experimenting on the seat mod. I stacked the washers and liked the outcome. Now I'm seeing what I can come up with for a permanent solution. I just purchased a 2020 900 GT with 1400 miles on it. That is what the comfort seat is going on. I also have my eye on a Corbin that is lightly used. I still have my 2015 FJ09 with about 18K on it. Added Terry's seat, side bags, heated grips, and top case. 1970 DT-250 / 1972 250MX / 1973 360MX / 1974 250MX & 1974 CZ 400 Red Frame & SC 500 / 1978 YZ 250 / 1979 YZ250 / (2) 1980 YZ 250 / 1986 YZ 490 / 1989 YZ250 WR / 1994 YZ 250 / (2) 2002 YZ 426 / 2007 YZ 450 / 2007 DR 650, 2015 FJ 09 / 2020 YZ 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draco_1967 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I have a JK3D kit I pulled of my bike (built a custom seat that eliminates the stock seat forward slope) that you can have. I hate to throw it away, if there is someone who could use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerrychuck Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I have been happy with my Corbin. Can't compare it to Russell or some of the customs, but I found it a huge difference over stock. Corbin works by improved weight distribution as opposed to being cushy. Some people don't care for the firmness, but I've had good results on long rides with the combo of the Corbin and Winx motorcycle shorts (which I have found much better than bicycle shorts which I used previously). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I have owned 3 Corbins on 3 different bikes, and I can attest to the Bagster being superior in every way "IMHO", plus it got rid of the forward lean and pressure towards the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaman Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I carved out some foam in the seat and put in 2cm gel pad and some extra padding at the front , I just got home from a 2hour trip and it is better, a bit on the firm side but i think its because the gel is cold . I have 2 sets of seats so i can swap to see what i like best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtrot722 Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Just took the first ride with a comfort seat and seat mod. raised the front 3/4. Rode 150 miles, much better than stock. 1970 DT-250 / 1972 250MX / 1973 360MX / 1974 250MX & 1974 CZ 400 Red Frame & SC 500 / 1978 YZ 250 / 1979 YZ250 / (2) 1980 YZ 250 / 1986 YZ 490 / 1989 YZ250 WR / 1994 YZ 250 / (2) 2002 YZ 426 / 2007 YZ 450 / 2007 DR 650, 2015 FJ 09 / 2020 YZ 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
