2014 Std Modifications

[SportsterDoc]

This info. is spot-on, exactly what I was hoping for.

For the seat especially, what has the consensus become for 30min-2 hour rides. I've seen a lot of Corbin plus 1/2" foam & the '14 Deluxe option...

I'm just under 6'0" & 175lbs.

Again, thanks for taking the time!.

Hicks, congrts on your '14, and welcome to the forum.

I must pipe in and suggest that if you get sore after only 30 minutes of riding, something's wrong. I'd hate to think you need a Corbin to tolerate a half-hour ride. We're all shaped differently, but to me the stock CB seat is an all-day seat (riding solo). I'm 6'6", 36" inseam, 210 lbs. It may not be the consensus, but to me, for the way I ride, the bike is perfectly comfortable as is. Hope you find your sweet spot!

My 2003 XLH883 stock solo seat was only good for ~50 miles, as was the stock 2012 Bonneville seat.

The V7II took some time to acquire the ability go all day (460 miles)

For the CB1100, the same analysis as the V7II only more comfortable sooner. I have been 460 miles in a day on it, also. Stretch breaks come sooner towards the end of the day.

Not saying I would not appreciate a Corbin, but stock is OK for me for an all day ride. Just takes some acclimation.

I'm 6'0" with a 34" inseam.

I really like the look of the standard seat. For me, it was uncomfortable after about an hour of riding. I ordered a Corbin seat with extra foam. It felt hard for the first few weeks. Now, I love it. I've been on several eight-hour plus rides. With a stop for gas and a stretch every two hours, it works. My legs get more uncomfortable than my backside does on long rides.

Yep. If I am with friends and they are not ready for a break (usually refuel at about 100 miles), I just stretch one leg at a time and/or stand on the pages.
