Tall seat for 2017+ CB1100

[pdedse]

Spending $500-$1000 dollars for an off-the-shelf "custom" seat sounds like a lot, especially since there is no way of knowing if it will suit you.

I have the same complaint, and remedied it on my 2013, 2014, and 2017 models in the same way, by having an inch of foam added under the stock cover. My local upholsterer was able to sew an additional strip along the bottom of each side so there is material to staple into the base. I've had 3 CB1100 seats done, and all were done within a week, and under $100.

pkduck, that looks like a nicely done job, and $100 sounds a lot more reasonable.

Run Away, I've got the same issue at 6'3" and 34 inseam and feel cramped on my '17ex. As mentioned in your other thread, I "remedied" that by adding first one, 1" bleacher pad, and then another. I just strap them on the seat. I started with that because I was thinking about shelling out $$$ for a new seat or having foam added
--and I wanted to get an idea of how high I needed--but I liked the "cost" of the pads (about 6$ each), so I just left them on.

Likely not what you want, but you might experiement with pads to get an idea of how much taller you would like to sit in the saddle, and then if you get a seat upholstered, you would know how much foam to put in there.

I looked at peg lowering kits, but didn't find a lot out there, they seemed pricey, needed adjustments...and the foam pads worked for me. You could start with the pegs, maybe you'll gain an inch, and then another inch of foam would give you two. I mention this because a seat might look a bit "bloated" if 2" or more is added.

Have you looked into the [url=https://www.amazon.com/AIRHAWK-Motorcycle-Cushion-Cruiser-Medium/dp/B0045WBVUM]Airhawks seat cushions? People who have them say it raises the seat about an inch.

Good luck with the adjustments!
