I am thinking of replacing my seat and found this company. Will do a custom application for the FZ6R, $259. If someone beats me to it please post up. They do accessories too! Saddlemen Motorcycle Seats, Luggage and Accessories

Looks nice. You should get a different color besides black to match our bikes. Also see if you can get the Yamaha Logo/Symbol or FZ6R on the seat.

Where did you find out the cost on these seats? I would def buy one too! Have been looking for a different seat since I got the bike. Will need one before my cross country trip to arizona and back end of the summer!

Called customer service and talked to rep. You have to arrange a shipping and pay arrangement, before you mail in your seat (they use yours as the bike is too new). Turn around is one week as of today.

Very cool. Are you going to send them your seat? I think I just might when I get it back from the shop

Don't want to pass a week w/o riding, weathers great here. Am looking to pickup a used one first. First rainy week it may go in, (stock seat not bad till 2hours into a ride).

agreed, I put 300 miles on the bike Sunday, and could have done another 300 with no problems. I have a sheepskin seatpad I am going to throw on there from alaskaleather.com and see how I like that. I might look into another seat option if that does not satisfy me.

Corbin makes a seat as well. A bit more pricey, but Corbin has always been a good company.

And here is a thread about a member that got the seat made.
