One more masterpiece by Seth Laam. Amazing function, fit and finish. I would not go anywhere else to purchase a custom seat for a motorcycle.
Carbon fiber top, balance smooth.

Hey Mickey, hope all is well, nice day, you'll be riding in a few hours
The N1K has a similar forward lean as the ST1300 about 14% with risers. Through the Kawi forum i met a friend with a Corbin & Sargent and had a chance to mount both on my bike.
The Sargent was more of a bread loaf seat, raising you up at least an 1 1/2 with little contact patch. The Corbin was comfortable only when you leaned back on the seat putting you about a foot from the controls, forward lean to the bars would create hot spots.
Seth's seat has the largest contact patch when in the riding position which = comfort. Every part of your butt has contact so weight distribution is perfect. He also did a nose job on the front so at stops its the same as the stock seat.
He also gives you a nice discount if your a repeat customer.

Good deal. A sport tourer should be comfortable.
Yes this whole week will be good for riding. Starting to be nippy in the mornings though. Guess it's like that up your way as well. I ran the heated grips on my ST the other day.
So you've been happy with the N1K as a choice?

I like the N1K, for a 500lb bike its very stable on the highway and nimble around town, unlike my ST where you really had to be careful with the weight. I have just over 5K and it fills the spot between sport and tourer. If Kawi ever has a demo week out there take one out, I think you would like the bike.
Edit: one think you will notice coming off the CB & ST is the motor is wound up real tight, it needs 1 tooth up in the front and risers if your short like us.

I think I would like it too. Very similar in power delivery to the Gen 1 Yamaha, which was one of my favorite bikes. I had 2 of them. Except for a notchy transmission, they were excellent bikes. Wish Yamaha would have made a shaft drive sport tourer out of the Gen 1 FZ's. Then again, except for the shaft Kawasaki did!
