docsimple Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 wow, they make some nice looking seats. The website is in french so even with the translation I will have to contact them but this looks like a serious contender. I would love to find some reviews of the comfort tho... 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member johan Posted January 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 24, 2016 If you look at the French MT-09/MT-09 Tracer forum there are lost of reviews. Someone there also posted a long list of manufacturers. It seems the custom seat market is big in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsimple Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 i may play around with the translation later as french is not my native, or second, language. Have you read any of the reviews? These look to be about $100 less than the Bagster stuff. 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member johan Posted January 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't speak French and had to use Google translate for most of it. Just like this forum there are as many opinions as members... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to find some reviews of the comfort tho...I have looked at engine guards over the years and pretty much can figure how they will be deformed from a crash. Based on the material, a slight drop will deform them too. Some can be bent back near new, some you just put in the recycle bin. Looking at both of these, Givi's and TourTech's, I would say "save your money" and buy these cages done by Higdonian. At least his will be still on the bike and protecting the engine after many drops and even some crashes. And, they look better.(IMO of course) There is a tread on this forum which is addressing the Bagster seat for the FJ: Clicky Ken, Candy Ass L.D.R.

docsimple Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 thanks Johan, the wife likes so this has made the "plan to purchase" list red, we were not talking about the Bagster seat. Its a diff company, but yes, the thread was drifting O_o 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
