    Who is still making aftermarket seats for the 02-09 models?
    And do have any review? Thanks!

    Now I see the thread on Corbin vs Sargent. Any other seat options?

    Corbin is firmer, further rearward, and dished. Larger people seem to love these.

    Sargent is softer, you can sit closer to the tank, and is generally flatter (not flat).

    I like the Sargent’s seat pattern, more of a stock look. The Corbin looks kinda Harley

    Mine doesn't fit with the sargent rear on, but you can run the cowl or the seat. I just keep all of my cowls on a shelf. They don't do anything on the bike anyway.

    Some reviews say it pushes their crotch up to the tank, others say it doesn’t. Eh?

    On my Sargent, the cowl snaps on to the rear seat unit itself, not attached to the bike subframe like the 5th gen.
    Mine fits fairly well on the Sargent. It seems the Sargent padding is a bit larger than the stocker so the cowl stands off a little high, leaving a bit of a gap at its lower edge where it would near-meet the rear cowl.
    Works fine. I just leave it on since the Missus doesn't ride on my bikes any more.
    Not a problem, she got a Ninja 1000 she won't get off of.
