Pain in the...

[Nortoon_imp]

Uncomfortable seats is a common complaint on modern Hondas. The nose of the seat has been shaved to provide a lower seat height for the vertically challenged. That tends to push riders forward, making it very uncomfortable for male riders.

On the CB500X Forum there is a thread that started discussing Airhawk cushions. They are very expensive for a simple air cushion. Some people liked them, some not.

The thread ended with a recommendation for the [url=https://www.amazon.com/MadDog-GearComfort-Ride-Seat-Protector/dp/B006JMK7N8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487431866&sr=8-1&keywords=coleman+atv+seat]Coleman MadDog Comfort Ride Seat Protector.

A very inexpensive foam cushion, $16.61 on Amazon with free shipping, that fit the CB500X well. Many riders were pleased with them. Although some mentioned there was a short break-in period.

Not the prettiest seat cover, but for $16.61 it's worth a try. I bought one for my CB500X, but until the snow goes I will not get a chance to try it while riding. I was pleasantly surprized how well it fit and it did not look out of place.
