Got the Tiro (CB750 KO style) seat!

I dunno. Did you want to check?

Long-distance butt cheek checks just never work out. Butt do let me know if you move to Florida!

Hahahaha! Touche'!
And you've got yourself a deal!

Some of you may have seen my earlier post, asking about the Tiro vintage style seat, since the Cozy has been out of stock for some time with Mr. T.
Since no one else had one to offer up any experience or reviews, I decided to be impatient (in regard to waiting for the Cozy) AND be a guinea pig, and order the Tiro. The fact that it is advertised as the official Honda aftermarket seat carried a lot of weight for me.
As usual, delivery time from Samurider was unbelievably short; ordered last Thursday (my time), and just got it here in SoCal about an hour ago.
Initial impression is "this thing's beefy"! Much heftier looking than the stock seat - though oddly, it actually seem to weigh less. Installing was just as easy as the stock piece, too.

The seat pan is very stout, even looks like a factory piece, and in fact it's stamped "HONDA":

The foam is firm, but feels very comfortable, and seems like it'll be nice and supportive for longer rides. Sitting still, flat-footing it, you can feel the sharper corners of top surface intruding on the inside of your legs, but it's soft enough that it's not uncomfortable. When your feet return to the pegs (99% of the time you're on the bike, after all), those corners aren't noticed at all, just a wider, flattish, very comfortable seating surface. It's obviously much thicker than the stock seat, both for rider and passenger. From the specs I've read, it's only supposed to be fractions of an inch taller, but the impression with the "buttometer" is more like a full inch, at least. I'm 6', and I feel like I suddenly got quite a bit more leg room. Here's the difference:

Bad pic of it on the bike in it's present cramped quarters, but it's the best I can offer during office hours until I'm able to pull it out of hiding. I'll try to follow-up with how it feels after I've taken it out on a ride, too.

Enjoy!

Looks good!

Is that a black side cover? Would love to see a profile pic of that too, I have been playing around with the idea of getting black side covers as well.

Thanks for the pics! Cheers

Thanks!
Yes, it is the matte black side cover from Mr. T/Samurider. Here's a pic for you from my other thread about the new fairing:

*superhawk - yes, the seat is from Samurider also.
