2014 CB1100 EX Seat Fit On 2013 and Older Bikes

[Guth_imp]

Quick update: I finally received my '14 EX seat today. Not sure what experiences others have had (Ferret reported issues, I think), but mine went on just as quickly and easily as the stock seat. I have the Honda luggage rack, and with that on there I barely even notice the alignment issue w/ the side bars.

I haven't ridden with it yet so can't comment on improved comfort (if any), but a quick sit indicates that it does indeed ride somewhat higher than the stock '13 seat. The vinyl feels like it might be lighter duty stuff than what's on the old seat, but I'm guessing that's a function of the "quilted" top.

Anyway, I'll grab a few pics next time I have it out for a ride. I'm also getting black side covers from Takashi in a couple of weeks, so am looking forward to the combo.

Meantime, here are a couple Photoshop mock-ups of what it will look like. Didn't bother w/ adding the new seat to the second one.

Wow, that color combination looks far better than I would have expected. Very nice.
