[QUOTE="Motorcycle Mayor, post: 1461426, member: 91787"] I've read a number of posts and reviews about replacement seats for the FJR-2013 (mine's a 2017), which were helpful in terms of learning about brands. But I still don't understand one key thing about shopping for a new seat: how do you try out the different brands ahead of time to decide which one you want to go with? Lots of people point out that seats are idiosyncratic -- everybody's butt and riding style is different :) -- which makes sense. But unless you can try out different brands, what do you do? Keep buying ones until you find the right fit? I don't know of any gear store large enough in my area (San Francisco/San Jose) to offer a good selection of choices to try sitting on. Not trying to be snarky here. I'd really appreciate thoughts on how to shop for a replacement seat. Thanx! - Mark [/QUOTE]
