new user!- how ya doin - spina - 23-07-2008
Before I lay my butt on the ground and get to work, my ASS IS KILLING ME!!! any suggestions on seat s would be greatly appreciated. I wouldnt mind a gel seat if they look good as well as being comfortable.
Hey guys, I am very new to the Hayabusa world LOL I owned a 2006 ZX14 for a couple of years and it was recently stolen. so i decided to try an 08 Busa. My initial impression is good I think the power is maybe a little better compared to a stock 14 (my 14 was pretty heavily modified)
The fit and finish of the bike itself is AWESOME!!
the seating position is a little sportier ie uncomfortable LOL then my 14 was. my ASS IS KILLING ME!!!
But I am very impressed with the bike so far.
Over the next year I will begin getting it ready for dragracing but this late in the season I am going to keep it relatively close to stock for now.

Welcome to the club Spina. From what Ive read theres been mixed results re seats, there are a couple threads on it if you do a search. Id say before doing anything wear your arse and seat in a bit, sometimes it just takes a little while for ones body parts to get used to. I know it took my bod 2 weeks to adjust to the busa when first getting it.

I did one of the gel seats from Suzuki and found it very hard. I have reverted to the stock seat with a dead animal covering it. That and the bar risers certainly make the busa better.

Welcome Spina, I have found the Suzuki Gel seat similar to a flat piece of plywood, I do many long trips and I find an "airhawk" seat cover is the answer.
Congrats on the K8, they are a bloody good thing.
Cheers,
Tex & Bundy

Hay Kawasuki can you show me a picture of you Heli bars if you have one or two as I'm thinking of trying a set out. I have a little bit of arthritis in my left thumb and want to see how high they are.
Many thanks
