New Seat (K&H)

[ischliky_imp]

ischliky,

Is that the mid-height K&H? How does it feel compared to stock, height-wise?

Thanks!

Yes its mid-height (K&H Mid seat #S-1101BT). I would say it is ever so slightly higher for me, nothing really crazy, however my passenger noticed a different knee angle on the first trip out. If i had to guess, I would say maybe 1 inch higher for me, and 2-3 inches higher for the passenger. The biggest thing by far is that the seat is just a little slippery still, and with no sissy bar or anything I am told to take it easier when riding 2up. I am assuming that overtime it will fade but even if it doesn't it is no problem for solo.

Since it is leather do you have to treat it or take care of it in a special way?

I can't justify that much for a seat (yet?) but it sure looks cool and I bet it is comfortable!

That's a great question. I wasn't planning on doing anything different with it, however it is garaged when home so the elements should have a muted affect on it I would hope. After a year I may reassess this and treat it with something. On my old bike (95 magna) I had the stock seat until last year. Such a difference, a really good seat just makes longer rides so much more enjoyable for me. It is worth every penny to me. As an added bonus, this seat makes my bike look a lot better to me, so I can say it was half comfort and half aesthetics.
