Playing with different preload setting, i found that my CB1100 2013 stock seat is most comfortable when the bike's preload are set with the bottom tube of the cradle frame parallel with the road.. Previously, I set the rear slightly higher, and the stock seat kind of putting stress on my lower thigh and I thought the CB stock seats are uncomfortable and contour are weird, until recently I raise the front preload and reduce the rear, so that the bottom tube is parallel to the road. And no more stressed lower thigh. I had always considering adding a gel pad to the seat. Now it seems unnecessary. So if you are like me and felt the thigh are stressed riding on stock CB seat, can try to adjust the bike posture with the bottom frame tube parallel to the road. It seems the contour of the stock seat are design with this posture in mind. Just some personal experience.
