NEW SEAT - NOT A "PAIN" IN THE BUTT
#1



thought I would show off my new seat...5 weeks in the making and finally done. As everyone has stated I too found the stock CB1100 seat to be numbingly uncomfortable after about 60 miles. I rode to Vintage Motorcycle Days in Mid Ohio this past July from Buffalo NY and I can honestly say I was ready to set the bike on fire by the time I got there.

I worked with a local auto upholstery and custom shop. Couldnt beat the estimate I got; way cheaper than Samurider after shipping. Took 4 times to get it perfect but im glad I went this route. I had the tailbone area carved out, gel inserted, memory foam, two other types of foam, hard foam to created a back support as well as custom stitched "pleather" which is way softer than the vinyl that was on there and it cost about $375.00 all said and done. so far I have gone on two separate 250 mile rides and not a hint of pain. I love the retro stitching and the over all look it gives the bike.

super happy.
