    His foam is a super secret brand/type. If you read reviews of his seats, everyone thinks they're the most comfortable seat they've ever had. His forum name is Dirtroad on the FZ1 site. If you google "DirtRoad Seat" you'll find links to many forums with hundreds of positive reviews. And if you're doing a recover (not a reshape like I was after) His turn time is like 2 days.

    If you can't tell, I'm a huge fan, and I'm super happy with his work.

      You could take your current seat to an upholstery shop and have them recover and foam it. I brought mine to a leather shop. Theyre making the passenger seat-hump lower, making the surface smooth, covering in corvette black Bull-hide leather with red stitching. $325 out the door. If you want real leather, i'd go this route.

        Did you use the Corbin seat to be re-covered? or, was it the OEM seat that was re-covered?

        excellent job, I am very interested in having a seat re-covered.

          I thought I was going to just buy a new Corbin once I sold my old one. But for some reason I had $325 stuck in my head. I went to order a new one and I was off by a long bit, so I started looking around. It was Isleoman who pointed me toward Eddie "DirtRoad". It was more good advice.

          Speaking of... Isleoman, thanks for the compliments on the seat. I got a question for you: Does your side stand interfere with your ZX12R rearsets? If it does, how have you dealt with it?

          Thanks,
          Kevin

            I don't think I have ever seen a seat with as many seams, and they all seem to be straight as well. That is certainly unique. One thing I still don't understand is how Corbin make a contoured seat that has minimal seams, but is cupped or convex? Must be in the glue. Nobody else seems to do that. Also considering they only have one seam, the workmanship tends to suck. I guess it really must be in the glue.

            Anyway, the bike looks real great and I hope you are happy with the power and handling. To get more you will have to pay for it with knees and back. I for one am flat broke on those accounts.

              As you already know, I've been kinda looking for another Corbin seat. After seeing this, I just might go that route! What you have looks to be much better quality than the Corbin seat and I just happen to have three OEM seats, one is pretty much perfect and the other two have excellent foam but the cover is split.
