RE: Got the Tiro (CB750 KO style) seat!
#18



I thought I'd add a little review here, now that I've gotten some seat time with it.
I have to say right up front that this was an incredible addition, at least to my frame/position on the bike - even better than I was hoping for. I got a 70 mile ride in Saturday morning, and about 30 or so on Sunday. As I mentioned before, the foam is pretty firm, especially on my bony butt, but I think because it's so thick, it's not at all like sitting on say, a wooden board, like the stock seat on my Bonneville. With no stops on the 70 miles ride, which was a combination of city streets, a lot of curvy canyon roads, and a short stint on the freeway, I stayed amazingly comfortable, with no wiggling around to ease the pressure on my butt or to find a more comfortable position. The seating surface is nice and wide and long, so there's definitely a lot of area to move around to find your best spot, but I was so comfortable right where I initially plopped down that I found that a luxury, and not a necessary. The stock seat also always seemed to be shoveling my 'nads toward the gas tank, and that wasn't the case at all with the Tiro. Seat height seems markedly taller than the stock seat - which I was really looking for - and gives me quite a bit more legroom, putting me in the most comfortable stance I've been on a motorcycle in a very long time. My initial impression is 5 stars; how it holds up in the long run is another story, but for now, this is the best money I've spent on the bike - VERY happy.
This pic from the ride really shows how much beefier this seat is than the stock seat - lovin' that classic look, too:
