I got 6,000 miles, so I was thinking of replacing the brake pads?

    It looks like Honda does make a great brake pad, I don't know why I think after market is all ways better other than it usually is. I do know for a fact Honda vfr seats suk.

    And that depends on you ass. My stock was as comfortable to me as the Sargent I replaced it with. I don't doubt the Sargent is far better for many people, but not everyone.

    Usually, the Aftermarket can focus on a very small group of people, whereas the manufacturer produces for everyone. Also, it's always easier coming in later to fix an issue, than it is to make the original. That being said, Honda does do their homework on most everything they make. I purchased a Honda Ridgeline in 2007 from the States, and brought it up to Canada, voiding the warranty. Honda or Toyota would be about the only companies I'd take that chance with! Honda rules. Also, sometimes I've found it best to keep my opinions to myself. If someone wants it, they'll ask. I also give my opinion on things I really know about, not things that I heard someone else give their opinion on.

    I had nothing but trouble with that stock seat, the same on the R6 Yamaha. I see no fancy work at all on the seat. Honda spent money else where, its poorly made.

    It's funny how you just agree with what anyone says on here about anything. I for one have tried aftermarket seats and some suck real bad. Like Corbin. Never sat on a comfy Corbin. You don't need a comfy seat since you only ride 10 miles at a time.
