Looks really nice. How's the comfort compared to the old seat?

Seems like if you have a black motorcycle, you have to add some sound to it, having a bad *ss black motorcycle that sounds like a vacuum cleaner is not so tough....

In the old seat, I used to slip down a lot. I feel this seating keeps my slightly higher and more balanced and level to the ground so that's an added bonus for me. I'm 6'1" and don't like being too close up to the tank because my legs get hot near the engine.

What makes you say that? I know it's more dangerous to not alert others of your presence on a motorcycle, but I love the CB1100 because of it's quiet nature. It's bad ass without announcing it to the world. Just have to be extra careful splitting lanes and driving at night though.

What's wrong with

RED?

You'd have to ask Senator McCarthy, Spaceman.

I think that was a bit before his time....just guessing.

For me, having an audible growl to a motorcycle enhances my riding experience with it, feel at one with the engine .
Like having a $100K sports car, without a deep exhaust note is missing something.

There has to be a better name for that seat than "Breadloaf".

Maybe " Waffletop"?

How about just "Classic Look"? Sounds less gay than bread or waffle. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)
