Glad you are happy with samurider as I am eventually going to have buy a 'high' seat from them unless I can figure out a cheaper alternative.
Thanks MTC! What's funny is that for periods of time I have to switch off of the primary drug that I require. That means I also get rid of all of the side effects that come with it (like gaining weight). It's been a couple of months now and I have dropped about 20 pounds without even trying. I'm hoping to stay the course and drop another 20 pounds. I like to think of it as getting a nice performance upgrade for my CB1100.

Forty pounds might not sound like a lot in the overall scheme of things when you're talking about the weight of the bike + rider + gear. But if you think about picking up that much weight and moving around with it for a while it's extremely noticeable.(my son has been hauling me to go to the gym with him while he's home on break from college so I'm actually somewhat familiar with this, lol)

Good luck with the seat search. Fortunately there are quite a few more options available if your desire is to raise the seat height as opposed to lowering it. If you don't end up having any luck with the low budget options, I can't imagine finding a more helpful and pleasant person to deal with than Mr. T (this man takes customer service very seriously). Simply put, he's awesome. I look forward to learning what seat option ends up working out best for you.
