I had a sit on Karen's ZZR with the lower seat and it felt weird as I normally don't sit on any motorbike (even 250s) with bent knees .
How's the seat comfort-wise, have you tried it on a long trip yet? Is it noticeably sculpted, or is the handiwork all hidden by vinyl?
I'm a bit reticent to try it as without a spare seat it's something which is a one-way process and if you don't like it, too late and stiff poop. I'm also concerned that it'd cramp the legs on longer journeys...
...anyway, let me know how it goes!
I haven't tried it on a long ride yet, but at first I noticed the seat felt harder. All sculpting is hidden under the vinyl and it looks like a regular seat.
Yes, getting a spare from a wreckers is the way to go, especially for when you want to sell the bike, you can then put the original seat back on.
