I saw a 06 Kat like mine but it looked a little different. The seat had been changed from the factory one. When I looked at it, it was a Corbin seat (minus the sissy bar). It made the bike look totally different. I've been thinking about changing my seat for some time now. I want to change the seat and put a cowl on as well. Anyone have any thoughts?

Corbins are pretty sweet. They look great and are more comfortable for long rides. Put 1100 miles on mine since getting it about 2 weeks ago
But if you're liking the solo cowl look...probably not worth spending several hundred on a seat. You could always fab one yourself out of fiberglass, I believe several people here have done that. Might be a couple threads floating around about it.1998 Katana 750

When I purchased my bike the first and biggest problem I had was the seat. After about 30 minutes of riding my butt was so sore I set out to find some sort of solution. I ended up with the Corbin gunfighter seat and all of the problems of riding and at long distances were gone. It looks different, but for support I have found nothing like it. They are pricey but worth it.sigpic

for 75, why are you hesitating? they're usually 300 used. awesome seat, helps make the bike less cheap as well, imho
as far as the cowl, its on ebay all the time. he makes/sells the low and high rise cowls for the post kats. around 100 shipped to the US. they wont fit the corbin seat though. so its your choice, be comfortable and look like a boss. or have yet another piece of plastic on an already over fairing'd bike.

I wasn't sure about the seat but I may go and get it tomorrow or Saturday. I'm looking for new ideas for my bike but it seems that i'm somewhat limited with a Katana. I'm looking at changing the bar ends and looking around for some other ideas. I was trying to find another factory seat to add the cowl to but it seems that they are hard to come by

Got the seat Saturday. It didn't quite snap and make the hard to unlock it but a few washers fixed that problem. It's been cold here so I haven't really had time to look at it. I don't like the way it feels when I sit on it, it actually uncomfortable to me. I won't be using that on long trips..i'll post pics later. I put my Kat on the stands for the winter.
