Hi everybody !
I tried the FXS but i see two deal killers for me:
- no case - this can be solved by adding a small adaptable topcase
- awful seat - after 15' testing it I had a no-go from my wife, unless i can build or adapt a more comfortable seat.
Any idea to solve #2 ???

It can be along and tedious search, but if you persevere and shop carefully, always keeping a close eye on the budget, new wives can be acquired.

Funny one. But the wife I have is so out of my league that I am afraid it wont work.

My solution for the hard seat was to install an Air Hawk seat pad.

Interesting. I did not know this existed. Does it work for enduro-like seats ?

You may find some options here...

Here is how I solved this problem: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6czY3JqraAJQcFzE7
The seat is this one: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07DPNNPPG/
It is attached from the 4 cups in the corners, using bungee cord.

For what it's worth Zero sells a "dirt bike seat", I forget exactly what they call it but can get the part number if you like. It's the flat, non-contoured seat from the 2013 model. It has more padding and is a bit taller. Drop on replacement, just has the old Zero logo.

Interessant ! le coussin a ventouse tient bien à l'arrière ? J'ai peur qu'il se décroche...

Interesting. How much does it cost - i can also have a made to order seat with added gel & padding for 200 euros...

Les ventouses ne tiennent pas du tout sur le relief de la selle. Je me sers des 4 ventouses les plus "dans les coins" pour y attacher un sandow noir vendu au mètre. Sur les photos tu peux voir les deux sandows de devant qui passent dans les trous de la partie qui relie les deux sacoches, et qui viennent ensuite se fixer sur deux vis que j'ai placées à travers les plaques d'Alupanel. Mais sur une moto "normale", on peut les accrocher où on veut. Les deux sandows de derrière se fixent sous le support du top case. Ces 4 sandows se terminent par des boucles ou des crochets que j'ai confectionnés. Je peux mettre ou enlever ce siège en moins de temps qu'il n'en faut pour le dire (juste accrocher les 4 extrémités des sandows aux endroits où elles se fixent). Si ca t'intéresse, à l'occasion je peux faire des photos plus détaillées.

Merci. Je vais le commander. Je vais coudre une sangle dessus, ou une surface antidérapante
