I bought my 2017 Matte Silver FZ-09 a couple of weeks ago. I knew after the first day that was going to get a new seat.
Lots of bikes have a seat that lots of owners recommend highly. I found Sargent, Seat Concepts, Corbin, Shad, and Yamaha Comfort seat but no clear consensus on which one to buy. Also, I found some questions about pre-2017 seats fitting 2017 FZ-09's. I went to the dealer and we tried switching the seats on a 2016 and a 2017. Both seats fit both bikes.
Since I've had a Corbin seat in the past and I liked it, I decided to go that route. Unfortunately, when I called to order it, Corbin told me not to buy the existing seat for a 2017 - they recommend waiting until a 2017 seat is ready, but they don't have a bike yet to start developing it. So back to square one.
I saw a recent thread about a Shad seat and I decided to pull the trigger. I'll post a review and some pics once I get it.
I also ordered the SH36 Side Cases. I'll put them in a different thread.
