XB12S, or even the 9s if its close to the same. The shorter one of the two. The girlfriend likes the smaller seat.

This will be going on my Hayabusa.

Sure thing. This is what it looks like now

The GF hates the big fat seat so I want a more streetfighter look. Opened the door to the Buell tail [up] I was looking at the Firebolt also but the minimalist look of the lightning looks cooler and farther from stock.
