Tall seat for 2017+ CB1100

[Run Away_imp]

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.

Thanks for the pictures, I was imagining a visible strip of material along the bottom but that seems like a darn good option for me.

Regarding pegs, I do have a set of cheap lower pegs on the way. Just cheap eBay ones so I can see if I'm okay with the reduced ground clearance, and play with putting them straight down, or down and back.

I'll probably cut up some foam kneeling pads I have left over from home renos and give those a try....once it warms up. It freaking snowed last night!

Also came across another interesting tidbit on the Daytona website regarding the seat differences
https://www.daytona.co.jp/products/single-74924-parts
"Since the tank shape of the CB1100EX / RS model is different, there will be some wrinkles on the skin at the tip of the seat (the part that comes into contact with the tank) when it is installed."

To me that implies that the seats can be swapped between models, and that the RS/EX tank might be longer than the older models?
