Redesign ideas

^ Agreed. I'm 6'6" 220 lbs and the ergos are spot on for me. No risers, no peg lowering, no Corbin. OE is fine.

Same for me at 5' 9", 180.
Everything is a natural fit for me.

To each their own, but my only gripe is the seat being too low. I wish Honda offered an accessory tall and short seat like so many other bikes. For instance, the Suzuki tall saddle for the DL650 is a little over $200. That's quite reasonable. Actually, my gripe could be extended to a lack of available accessories through Honda. As much as I enjoy dealing with Mr. T for my farkling needs, it would be nice to have more choices from the local dealer.

I'm Japanese height, but American weight lol. Bike fits me good. Can't expect a lot of options from Honda on a niche bike. Aftermarket is the answer to our needs. If enough people want something, SOMEONE will make it.

Sargent in Jacksonville, FL will modify your existing seat to be as high as you want with any contour you want. I had this done for my wife's Bonneville SE a few years back with very good result.
I like the CB just as is. It's a perfect fit for my 5' 6" stout frame, I can stand on the pegs when need be and the seat is comfortable. Because the fuel mileage is excellent for an 1100cc bike, I find the fuel tank acceptable but a little more capacity would have been nice. Having had four shaft drive bikes in the past (a BMW, Kawasaki, Honda and Moto Guzzi) I much prefer the simplicity of a chain now. Shaft drive is nice but a nightmare if they break or have leaking seals. The CB is plenty powerful for the niche Honda created it for. Years ago it would have been one of the world's fastest stock bikes and even by today's standards it is still plenty quick. As for the top speed limiter, 112 mph is "go to jail" speeding in all 50 states.

I went for the K&H "high" seat from Mr. T. It solved my problems with seat comfort and riding position.

I had a Sargent saddle on my 06 V-strom and it was pretty comfy. I looked at the Sargent for the CB, but it's not to my liking aesthetically. I also like having the stock saddle unmodified for when I do eventually sell the bike.

I just placed my order for the K&H tall and should have it in less than a month. I'll hopefully be satisfied with that.

I had Sargent redo my seat and I am very happy with it. They also have discounts in the off season.

Sounds to me like you need to go bike shopping.

What part number. I saw a couple of different ones on Samurider and I got confused. (mine's a 2013, btw)
