Can you please post a pic of your bike with the seat removed? a few angles and one looking straight down? That would allow us to tell you yes or no.

If the XJ6 seat is anything like the FZ6R Corbin seat then I would say yes..
But yes pics would help..

The Corbin might fit but he is looking for the two-piece set from a stock bike. He would need the base plate with the HI & LO setting and the tabs to screw it into?
I think it can be done though... the seat release can actually be moved between two locations. Actually, it looks like Corbin moved her latch to the lower location. See that metal bar on his picture? Then the latch bolted on the higher mount toward the back? On the lower mount, you can see the same set of holes so the latch can be bolted to either. I think his is fine and hers was moved!
So, a bracket, the pan and the two seats looks like it could work. That also means that the FZ6R can use the XJ6 seats, meaning you could order a Top Saddlery.

My bad, I read it the other way around.
But even if he could get the HI/LO base, it may not work. The reason is that with the two seat setup, the front seat has a tongue that slides in at the tank, while the rear seat has a tongue that slides in over the tail light. But I believe, with the one-piece seat, there would just be the one tongue at the tank and the latch for the rear part of the seat. Therefore, the XJ6 may not have the place for the tongue of the rear seat to slide in and attach to.
I'll try and get some shortly. With the FZ6R, it's not as easy as unlock and lift. We can do that with the rear seat but the front requires tools to remove it. With some pics, you'll know what we mean regarding the brackets, mount points and the HI/LO adjustment pan.
Her T-Rex sliders just came in so I have to go tool on the bike anyway. :thumbup:
