This option. Add Bill Mayer to the list of the other too.

They're not that much more. And I've seen too many people around here buy a Corbin or Sargent and then end up forking out for the Russell, R. Mayer, or B. Bayer anyway. Save the dough up front.

IF...the OEM seat isn't working for you AND you plan to take long day rides or trips together, IMO: spend invest the money in the comfort of a custom seat.

I have a Russell and it transformed my experience into an "all day" for many days. Others have had the same success with other seat builders.

There is a lot of information found by using Google:

custom seat site:fjrforum.com

seat site:fjrforum.com

aftermarket seat site:fjrforum.com

Happy shopping!

Other peoples input is great and will help guide you maybe to a quicker resolution and more options; however, it really gets right down to personal preference. Is your bum happy or not.

I would think that a custom seat and a top case will make her comfortable and secure. Show her the pictures from the ride we had in NorCal yesterday and you will see many smiling couples. Linked here!

I bought my 06 FJR on May 1st. I immediately bought the Yamaha Gel seat. I took a 3 hour ride (1.5 hours each way), my butt hurt for 2 days. I immediately sent my stock seat pan off to Bill Mayer, had it back in no time. They received the seat, did my seat and sent it out the next day! I rode 7 hours round trip a couple of weeks ago and was not sore a bit. I was ready to get off the bike after 7 hours, but could have jumped right back on and it would have been fine.

I have two friends who ride and they always complain about their seats, but won't bite the bullet and buy a custom. All I can say, it is the best money I ever spent on both my FJR and my previous V65 Magna.
