That seat really just looks like it belongs on the CB though it doesn't list compatibility with the 2017 model and it's been a year since someone asked that in a comment without being answered, at least publicly. Couldn't commit an order to that yet. That option will get me 0.9 inches and maybe a bit more effectively by buying firmer foam... just a fantastic start. Wish I could just find the seat base and make my own.. the first would SUCK infinitely more than our language would facilitate adequate mocking... the upgrade then would only suck... then... fair... but eventually, Honda would sue for for trade dress infringement Victory! I must have done 5 generations of seat work on my dirt bike. I'll email the K&H guys and see if they can do the 2017 and a little more height as long as they're messing with the foam, but, as I type that I realize... they get their bases someplace too... I hate when my subconscious assumes I'm going to live forever.
I am on the fence about doing the peg adapters myself (have a decent machine shop). I'm sure I can do them for only about $100-200 more than if I just buy them but the feeling of smug superiority when I forget that little detail will make it worth it. Theoretically. What I'm not crazy about is aluminum in the system of stuff that keeps my pegs on should I revert to my super amazing JN-something dirt bike skills (cough) to deal with a surprise road hazard.. but the attachment point is aluminum so mathematically at least not an enormous drop in system strength...
Again, thank you everyone. Ride safe.

ps - I haven't seen any other CB's in Nuuk. I assert that to be a 100% true statement

Here is an example of the K&H Hi seat. They have a few different models too: https://www.samurider.com/?p=22627/#itemImage
Some members have also put some adjustable lower pegs on too. Can’t remember the brands right off hand, but someone will chime in.
I’m an Air Hawk user too. They are for comfort though. If you are using it right it will not raise your seat height very much at all.
