Hi Guys, I'm looking for an After Market seat for my 2013 CB1100.
I'm on the heavier side and find the stock seat a little unacomodating, looking at Corbin Gunfighter or K&N?

I have the Corbin Gunfighter seat and I find it perfectly comfortable (some find it too hard).
The only thing I would warn you of is that the Corbin does move you slightly back from the bars, not a problem if you have orang-utan arms like me but a few members here had to install handlebar risers to compensate for it.
The " higher version" of the Corbin seat does not slide you back as much as the standard ones. I have both .

Do you find it more comfortable than the stock seat? I get sore on mine after an hour.

I am on the heavier side as well, I was about 250lbs when I bought my CB this spring - anything longer than 1hr was pretty uncomfortable. For me, the Corbin is far superior to the stock seat except looks, I really like the look of the stock seat.
I have since lost a bunch of weight but back surgery has kept me from trying the stock seat again to see if it makes any difference.

K&N seat???
Although I have done 460 miles days on my Triumph with a touring seat, I do not expect to do much more than 300 mile days at this point in my life.
~300 miles to my youngest daughter's was OK on the Moto Guzzi V7II, with stock seat.
The 280 miles I did on Saturday on the CB1100 was without seat issue (current weight just under 180#). However, after about 80 miles, I am ready for a quick stretch.
If the seat were an issue, then a Corbin Gunfighter & Lady would be first consideration. My wife no longer rides with me, due eye issues, but I like having the rear seat to strap on a bag or jacket or box or tail bag...without adding a rack.
Just my 2 cents

Good points, how did you lose the weight!

Pandeux
What info do you have on a K&N seat?
I wonder whether Pandeux meant a K&H seat?
