Ordering a tobin

[FJRider]

Ready to send off my seat to have it Tobin'ized. I've got an '05 Blue & Silver. I'm debating whether to go with the dull or glossy finish for the Tobin. Anyone have a picture of this bike with the Tobin? I'm wonder which looks best with these colors.

Also thinking about adding setbacks. Which is best?

This is a pic of my 06 blue/gray with tobin seats.

i had the flat black on my blue and silver and it looked great

If you had an LE bike (black frame and swing arm), my input would be the flat black. Since you have a non-LE I think the glossy looks killer on those.

I've been looking at these trying to decide same as you and feel the glossy looks best.

Couple questions though...
Is it worth it to have that extra cushion on top of the foward seat...??? What does it look like when you remove it...? And how is it held on...?

Never had one, but if I remember right they are zippered on.

Go with the gloss black, they look better when the bike is waxed...

The extra cushion is just to provide a little support and feels much better than the hump. The cushion zips/unzips to the bottom of the front seat, so when removed you can't tell it was there. Looks just like PF248's front seat without it.

Dull black seats on an 03 Black/Grey.

Gloss black on the same bike.

Depends on what you're lookin' for. Flat gives it that mean, business-look; gloss adds a little bit of flash. If it's the only real mod you're doing, I'd go with the gloss. Bottom line is that both will look good.

an 05 with the flat black ..... I went with these becuase of scratching the seat with boots/gear....etc.

I have a few more closeups at home....but that's another 5 days away...lol

I prefer the dull one. I'm not big on the glossy one.

I posted the dull black on the bl/gr 06. Obviously I prefer the dull finish. The hump pad does indeed zipper from from underneath the seat. I only have it on there for looks in the pic. I don't even use it most of the time because I like the look of both tobins together. The hump pad won't stay up without the hump installed, it will fall back onto the back seat. This is a closer pic of seats.
