Daytona Cafe Seat

[Papa Weeley_imp]

I really liked the looks of this seat when I first got the bike, but figured it was too low for my longish legs. When I recently saw another CB owner wanted to sell his, I jumped at the chance.
Unfortunately, I was right about the height problem, but it just looks bitchin' anyway, and the foam is actually really comfortable. I figure I'll use it on shorter canyon runs, etc. where my legs won't get too cramped up, and run the mega-comfy Tiro for everything else.

I have this seat also. I find it super comfortable. I was suprised how wide it was and yes it is a little lower than stock but i can ride all day with it. Its very nice quality. I have a 34" inseam at 5'11" and find it perfect for me.

The seat looks great on your bike! Sometime good looks and comfort don't play well together! :biker:

I'm gonna pull the trigger on one this week.

Hi Guys, am really liking the look of this seat.
But is it available for the EX model?

 

[Lord Popgun]

Throttle,

Look here: http://www.samurider.com/?p=16229/#itemImage

Says not for DLX/EX

I also wanted one but Takashi convinced me it was too low. So I went with the K&H solo which is nearly an inch taller. The Daytona is sweet looking!

 

[Cormanus]

Yes. But how comfortable is it?

I'll let you know in a few days hopefully. Luckily Papa weeley and I worked out a trade with some seats. Can't wait to get this on my CB1100. So excited.

 

[Papa Weeley_imp]

Yes. But how comfortable is it?

The seat is actually extremely comfortable, foam-wise. It was just too low for my longish legs, so not so comfortable for me, position-wise, if that makes sense.
I decided to work out a deal with JF Coastal on it, so someone else who wanted one and was better suited to it size-wise could get some use out of it.
Can't wait to see it on your black bike, JF!

I had a similar problem with my low seat. I solved it by installing adjustable foot pegs and lowered them to give my legs more room. I have Ohlins fully adjustable shocks installed and I also increased the rear ride height of the shocks a little. That made up some of the difference in ground clearance with the lower foot pegs. I used to scrape the stock foot peg feelers all the time but I don't anymore with the improved clearance.

That is a great looking seat...pipes and fairing. Love that!

Are those engine guards suitable as highway pegs?

CBryder, those are Moriwaki sliders. I have a set on my CB and they are not suitable for highway pegs.

I thought that I had noticed them on your photos before. They blend in well. I'm just looking to stretch my legs momentarily once in a while...

CB, that's actually Papa Weeley's bike you have been seeing, but strangely it looks pretty much like mine

I have crash bars and highway pegs. Something tells me it wouldn't work well with the look of the bike.

Depending on how big your feet/boots are, it can work for that "momentarily" kind of thing. Occasionally, I'll put my feet up there, heels on the slider, back of my foot resting on the engine cases when I need to stretch out a bit. I'm not really comfortable in that position, so I don't do it for long, but it does allow you to move your legs around while riding, and still have your feet supported on something. There's not a whole lot of room like a real highway peg, so I'm guessing that if the road you were on wasn't very smooth, you might have a hard time keeping your feet in place on that short perch, but otherwise it works pretty well.

You mean because like they're both red, and 2013 models?!
