Hi i have an 05 Fz6 and i am looking into possibly getting some new exhaust. I have gone onto you tube to try and get an idea of what the systems out there sound like. I like the stock exhaust for its stealth capabilities but i do want some sound. I am looking for something throaty. Not a weed whacker on roids. While i do say something throaty i don't want it to loud that i won't be able to drive down a neighborhood street after 9. I have found that the scorpions seem throaty but very loud. I have heard some nice sounds from the two bros systems and the M4's . but without hearing them in person i don't know what i am in store for. Any advise would be great. thanks in advance.

I am also looking into a new seat. I know the have the comfort gel seat straight from the dealer. I am not that interested in that one but have seen some pictures of some bikes with some real comfy lookin seats on them. Anyone know where to find something like that. I know Corbin offers a seat that is supposed to be revised in design to prevent sliding toward the tank during braking and prevent fatigue. Anyone have other sources?
 
From what I hear...2Bros, M4, Scorp, Leo's(know for a fact) are all pretty loud, the 2Bro's and Leo's have available silencers which should help. If you want something mellow try the Akro's but I am not sure if they have teh "deep" tone you are looking for.

As far as seats there are...Sargent, Top Saddelry, Corbin, Yamaha, more? or you could get a gel pad of eBay $35, some rebound material and try it yourself. Also try a local upholstery shop, might be cheaper than any of the formentioned companies and just as good.

search much?

Good stuff here and the search button will give you loads more.
There are specific threads for all the above mentioned. The cheapest exhaust mod is simple drilling a few holes in the baffles.
I know that a few guys have spent big bucks on the Corbin seat and whilst being pleased with the comfort there has been some dissapoitment with how slippery the rider saddle section is.
Good luck in your quest, if you are going to sell the gel seat I would be very interested.
Please post pics to
