I was/am looking for a V-Twin cruiser 'cause Mrs. CB was making noises about riding with me, for the first time in 40+ years. She's a great gal and I love her, but she's not as limber, nor as svelte, as she used to be, and I couldn't see her being happy on that plank of a Honda seat. She needed a wide, soft seat, on a low-slung machine, with a sissy bar, but it has to be in somewhat moderate temps, not 100+ degrees! October will be here soon, I hope.
Peace out, bro.
Don’t go by the looks of the Honda seat. I’ve seen a report the other day, about what looks comfy and desirable and what isn’t.
+ soft seats are useless as there rubber softens further when warmed by weather and you blood
+ wide seats feel “safer” first, but restrict blood flow,
+ higher seats in the back change the CoG to higher, no good
+ pillion backrests increase the risk to your back-bones in an accident,
Looks to me that Honda has made done their homework, the plank may be much better than you think.
