I am a little surprised that some “feel” that the seat impacts the pressure on your wrists. I believe that this can only happen if you let it happen, and you shouldn’t.
Anyone riding a lot will tell you that your chest and back should hold your whole weight at all times, regardless of seat and position - with zero weight on the wrists left. Only this way you’re totally in control of the handle bar and it does well to your back too.
Just my 2ct

The order form asked for my inseam and weight. I’m 6’4 225 and notice a significant difference between the geometry of the two seats. Whatever they did, they got it right. I’m further back and higher. I’m keeping the original seat just because. I’m 500 miles on the Corbin and haven’t swapped back for solo rides and may never. I also train on a road bike so am used to a hard seat so I’m sure that helps. The less cramped position has been great.
Funfactor--curious what saddlebags you have on your bike?

I've seen some folks recommend [url=https://www.meancitycycles.com/driver-seat-mods]Mean City Cycles, although I have no personal experience with them.

So, even on a sports bike you're expected use your core to take your weight?
Absolutely!!
Even if you don’t race, this way is better for your back, for your wrists and your neck. And by the way, this is exactly what the GP pilots do. But we are not GP. So back to the CB. The Honda’s position is already so easy, keeping the weight off your wrists is so easy, just try on a few short rides and get used to it.
