A huge thank you to rusty!!!
For many years now I have been donating my time (and money) to friends who have wanted to learn to ride. Often times I am loaning my "Trainer" bike, an old Suzuiki GS500 beater, to them or I have agreed to a half day ride to somewhere I've already been 100 times...
Rusty! You are the man!!! I choked a little at the price of a new one. I guess I knew I had it coming, but is my girlfriend really worth it?
Sorry for the late response. I was at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma California yesterday for a track day. I got in three good sessions before the rain...
Thanks Rusty!
The only item I need is the rear seat for a 2006 Yamaha FZ1N (naked version). The bike is a U.S. version that the previous owner modified. He actually bought all of the parts for the naked version and had them shipped to the U.S. After removing the bulky rear end (the U.S...
No, the underside for the US model is completely different than the underside for the European naked model. The US model is much larger.

Anybody got one? The girlfriend wants to ride along and she complains that the plastic rear cowl doesn't have enough cushioning. . . . . I've been telling her to quit whining but she's running out of patience!
I've emailed the guy twice with questions and haven't heard a reply so he's out.
Going to try the other suggestions now.
I was hoping a international guy with an FZ1N would have a seat lying around in his garage and would read this post. No such luck. . . .
Ebay
I've got my eye on the one on Ebay in the UK. I sent the guy a message requesting a photo of the bottom just to make sure it is the right part but I didn't hear back. I've never purcased anything on Ebay before and I'm a little hesitant (it's the skeptic side of me that's hard to...
I purchased a used 2006 Yamaha FZ1 which was heavily modified to include a Euro style rear tailpiece. The U.S. version has ugly hand rails but the Euro version is much simpler and smoother so it was installed.
The bike came with a painted plastic cowl for the rear but did not come with a...
