This coming riding season the wife and I are wanting to do some longer rides on the CB. So I'm looking to get a more comfortable seat. I've been relatively fine with the stock seat on trips less then an 2 hours straight but over that and I find my butt and lower back hurting. I believe I am fine with the seat height, I am about 5'8" with a 28" inseam so definitely shorter then most. Maybe I need a shorter seat then stock?

I was looking at Webike, and I prefer the flatter look of the K&H but I prefer the price and passenger rear hip stopper of the Daytona Cozy. I was hoping to get people's feedback on these two options. Which would be the more comfortable and practical for two up riding?
Does the K&H justify its premium price?
Are their any other complete seat options that I'm missing?
I know about the Corbin but I cant stand the way they look, so that's out.

Thanks.

I like Corbin seats but personally don't care for the pleated cover they have been using. But keep in mind Corbin will make the seat to your specification. I had them eliminate the hardware that the optional back rest fits into as I won't be using one. Also eliminated the stitching and pleats to make the seat look more stock.

Stock seat.

Corbin seating area is wider and doesn't have the forward slope down to the tank. The standard Corbin rider's bucket is about 1 1/2" further back than the stock bump which is just what I wanted. You probably will not.

The stock seat wasn't horrible but positioned me a little too close to the tank, was a bit too soft, and narrow where I sat. I was OK for an hour or so on it. With the Corbin I can ride all day and never even think about the seat.

I'm quite surprised how removing the pleating and stitching changes the entire look, and for the better! I do think having a bit wider seat then stock would be good for both rider and pillion. I also do like how the Corbin narrows in front of the rider, and I believe a flatter seating position (less slopped forward) will benefit me and my comfort. Since I lost the lottery on height, I'm a bit nervous about changing the bucket position, but I could see keeping the stock location or maybe moving it forward a touch. I would also do the same and loose the back rest hardware, since I have a Givi box for a passenger backrest when needed.

I guess I have some thinking and bike sitting to do on this before pulling the trigger on one. Thanks for the ideas and opinions everyone, I really appreciate it!
