Papa Wheeley I was wondering if you think that Tiro seat is much wider where your butt sits than the OEM seat? Also is it much higher than stock? And lastly is it $500.00 more comfortable than stock? It certainly looks great.

Hey modmaster,

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, had a long weekend!
That seat is the single-best improvement that I've done to the bike. It may be slightly wider than the stock unit, but I got it specifically because I was looking for a little more legroom, and it was around an inch taller. It's amazing what just an extra inch of seat height makes in your position if you're a taller guy.
But the biggest improvement was the comfort factor - this is easily the most comfortable motorcycle seat I've ever owned (and I almost always buy aftermarket seats for my bikes). I'm not a long distance rider, but I take two hour rides without ever squirming around on the seat trying to get comfortable. It feels perfectly comfortable from the moment you first sit down until you climb off.
Of course the great retro look that suits the bike so well is just icing on the cake.
***I will add here that some have commented on the "wrinkly vinyl" on the sides of the seat (although about 80- 90% of what I had on mine has smoothed out in the time I've had it), and I will say that K&H definitely makes a higher quality product (I have had 4 seats for mine, including K&H and Daytona). But in actual usage and the way it feels, it just can't be beat.
Bottom line is that I can't recommend this seat enough - it's just that good.
