BTW, I didn't attempt to delete the Ryujin logo (two kanji characters and the words "Ryujin Japan", so it's embroidered (in silver) into the lip of the seat).¥82,500???
Papa...while it admittedly appears to sit slightly higher than the stock seat in the photo I posted, I don't feel it...in fact, when I first sat on it, I thought it positioned me lower...possibly because it's shaped differently than the stock seat (i.e., it's shaped more like a sport bike seat, which is just what I wanted). My final conclusion is that the Ryujin positions me at the same height as the stock seat.
Again, different strokes for different folks...to me, the stock 2013 CB1100 looks sufficiently retro and I've focused all my modifications to push it a couple notches in the direction of a sport bike.
That sounds really expensive... http://ryujin-japan.jp/bike/112/
