It's an entire replacement seat. They use generic pictures so if the seat in the picture doesn't look like it'd fit your bike is probably because it wouldn't, lol. The seat they send will be a perfect OEM replacement, gel filled with memoryfoam pressure pads on the top. The "cover" is just for the rear seat, if you take passengers, or just so you can make it match your new main seat.
I've used it on my R1 and ridden a 07 gixxer 750 with one as well. I have circulation problems in my left leg and wasn't able to ride for more than an hour or two on the stock R1 seat. I tried a corbin, bead riders, etc. could get maybe 2 to 3 hours before my leg would fall asleep. I rode one my friends 07 gixxer 750 with the saddlemen tech seat, was sold instantly. You can't beat memory foam, ever. No matter the shape, how much gel they put in it, etc. Nothing is better then memory foam!! Right after that I ordered it for my R1 and the very next day after I installed the seat I did a 13hr ride to algonquin park and back. Didn't even feel like I had been sitting down!!! Super comfy. I use it on the track too.
Order it asap, your *** will thank me.
