It looks comfortable but we all know that if you don't carry your own padding (AKA a fat ass) the seat is made out of concrete and will cripple you.

Pricey as H&LL, but I like the non heated (those heater buttons are fugly). Might try to sit on one down at Daytona here in a couple of weeks? I would love a pad to lean back into on long highway miles!
I feel leaned into the tank quite a bit on the stock seat, I really would like to know positioning/lean/angle opinions on this seat?
I love the hooker comment, I'm thinking $1200 for the trunk and seat should warrant a 20something stripper for pillion!

if its anything like the Corbin products for the ZX14 stay away from that crap junk. Maybe one day they'll make pegs that work too

I laugh in the face of those metal "tough-guy" accents on the seat.
Corbin. Hey, CORBIN, this is a Kawasaki, not a harley.

Those are switches for the heaters for seats that have that option..

The price is way too steep for these seats. Got mine done by BAR Enterprises for 250.
