Yup, the bike reminds me a lot of the way the GZ handles, except it is a bit bigger (which isn't a bad thing!). The seat is very, VERY reminiscent of the GZ seat and I can't wait until the Mustang seat I won on eBay gets here. That's one thing I'll miss about the Katana... other than it being slightly uncomfortable due to the forward lean, the seat was SUPER comfortable. Best stock seat I've ever sat on.

Yea I rode a friend of mines Katana a few weeks back and I am like you, there is no way I could ride in that position all day every day, but it was a fun ride . I just noticed something funny, me and you and Danny all got Suzuki 800cc cruisers, that are all fairly close together in year model, but none of them are anything alike.

I saw some one else on here that had a VL800 also.. we should start a Suzuki 800 club, too bad it would be hard to meet up once a week and go riding or something like that.

mine feels nothing like the gz, i would like to get a mustang seat for mine, i hear there the best seats out there for comfort. mine is comfortable but i don't need a seat as wide as a football field, plus i guess the mustang seat makes your seat height about a inch lower as well.

im gonna go on ebay right now and see if i can find one for my bike and get a idea on the price, that's crazy you got 2 of them that cheep. corbin makes a really nice looking seat for my bike called the young guns seat. i hear some folks say Corbin seats aren't really comfy.

hope you enjoy that bike, i really dig my new Suzuki.

I always liked Mustang seats. A bit police style & hard, but definately a comfy chair. I suggest either a solo or a two piece instead of the one piece pan. They have quality studs too.

The knob guy makes a rear deco knob / screw for the seat rear mount also.

:2tup:

The knob guy?

Nice stuff, but a little too pricey for my college student budget.

Chrome dome nuts would do the trick nicely (& cheaply!) :2tup:
