Can anyone tell me the difference between the low and street fighter seats? Why such a big difference in price? Sorry didnt find anything in the search.

The Streetfighter is an aftermarket Buell seat. It is a different shape, different materials and thicker (sits higher) than the Low seat.

It is also much more comfortable than the stock 9S seat.

I am using the stock SX seat (06) I have heard that you can reshape them for cheap. I am looking for something a little shorter cause I cant sit flat footed on my bike. Comfort is a factor for me since I do 2 hour + rides. So in terms of comfort is the low better than the streetfighter? and is the select more comfortable than the low?

jimduncan thanks for the offer I want to do some more research first will PM you and let you know.

Thanks all
Rob

The Streetfighter seat is far more comfortable, and a bit higher than the low seat.

Select seat is 179.95

Thanks Old dude but I plan on keeping the stock seat just incase anything happens to the other seat.

Daves, sweet deal will it hold til x-mas? My wife wants to know what to get me, since she cant get me that 07 firebolt it will have to do.

The Select seat seems a little higher than the streetfighter seat, but it gives more. So I don't think you would sit much higher.
I rode the Streetfighter seat and now the Select seat.
Either one is comfortable for an all day drive.
The Select feels a little cushier, but seems to hold you to one spot, while you can move easier on the Streetfighter.
