Greetings, I have owned my 2004 F4i for two years and i am sick of the banana seat. I am now in the beginning phase of a complete seat conversion. I have been able to find all of the necessary parts on Ebay(substantially cheaper than OEM) except for the front seat assembly. It is no where to be found on Ebay or Amazon. Do i have options or should i just fork over the OEM $102.14 and be grateful that i found the seat at all?

 

The only other options i can think of is from breakers if there aren't any on eBay. If you fancy a good seat look at Corbin, they're expensive - USD300 expensive but are meant to be pretty good. I was going to buy one but the Australian distributer wanted to bend me over and stick it to me without even spitting on the tip! They wanted to charge me an extra AUD100 AND pay for shipping - so i told them to go f*ck themselves!

 

The Corbin seats are not a viable option. The crazy thing is you can find that silly little passenger seat everywhere. The main seat assembly is MIA. The honda parts site has it listed at $105.10, but what are the odds of it being a back order item? I guess i will have to go for it at Honda or wait it out. I am in no rush, because i want to replace the fairings completely. I will take my time on the fairings, because there are so many places to grab one, i don't want to just jump all over the first one i see. If any one is selling that front seat assembly.....let me know.
