Seat replacement
#1

Looking for a seat replacement for cb. I have read corbin, laam and russell. Looking for the best option for two riders on the bike. Any feedback is welcome on the best option.

I bought the K&H High seat from Samurider and it is more comfortable than the stock seat, and gives my long legs a bit more room.

1) decide how important a new seat is to you in order to:

2) come up with a budget for the new seat.

3) blow the budget and wait 5 weeks for a fabulous K&H seat. (I have 2). Smile

My $.02:
1. Corbin: Stylish, hard as a church pew, too short, easily detachable passenger backrest is very handy.
2. Laam: Looks amazing, taller than stock, more leg room, 100% custom, very fairly priced, have heard/red excellent reviews regarding Laam's customer service.
3. Russell: Pure bliss and nirvana for your butt, too ugly to be put on a CB, pricey, 100% custom made for you. If money were no object, I'd buy this for trips and keep the stock saddle for around town.
4. K&H: Looks awesome! Fits style of CB beautifully, But $600+ for a off the rack, non-custom saddle? No thanks...

Also, I have borrowed a Air Hawk R from a friend and it seems to help considerably, however, still leaning towards a Laam.

Any of you folks know if the stock '14 DLX seat will fit the '14 standard?

I installed the Corbin this week, since it's not my first experience with the company I knew what I was getting into. I disagree about the firmness, personally I think it's as plush as a tree stump.
My riding buddy bought one several years back for his then bike and ended up giving it away - way too tough for him.

Try before you buy, everyone's butt is different. That's a lot of money to speculate with.

I have a 14 DLX seat on my 13. It works well.

I went and sat on a CB1100 with a Corbin that was for sale locally and found the shape was very wrong for my posterior. I like a broad, flat surface and the Corbin's bucket shape didn't suit me. I had a Corbin on my KLR650 and my FJR1300 and loved them both. Try before you buy can be difficult. I got lucky with a used bike that popped up at a dealer I was able to check out. These types of discussions are difficult to get anything but subjective opinion, but sometimes that's all you got go work with.
