Webike Cozy seat

[hondahoarder_imp]

Looks like the seat on a 78 CX500

 

[bird_imp]

Can you show a picture of the seat from the rear ? I think I like it

 

[justinrhenry_imp]

From behind... mmm hmmm

E-clubman.com describes the Honda accessory seat as being 40mm higher than the stock Japan market seat. That would put it at 815mm(32 inches). That's 20 mm higher than the stock US market seat.

Combined with its greater width, the seat should provide more leg room for taller riders. Part number for the vinyl seat is OSK-ZX-MGC07. Global.rakuten.com has it for 36,900 yen or about $390 plus shipping. Very tempting!

I was getting excited when I saw this. I've been looking for a taller seat since i'm almost 6'5". Looking at they're site today though the price is listed at 42,000 yen which is $685 US. yow! i can't justify that much for a seat. I just hope some US makers come out with something soon that's a little more affordable.

I believe the current exchange rate is roughly 100 yen to a dollar but this fluctuates day to day.

I placed an order for Honda's tall accessory seat last night, but at this point I'm not sure if it's going to go through.

Global Ratuken only ships within Japan, and instructs overseas buyers to set up a forwarding service. The forwarding service in turn provides a local Japanese address and phone number to give to the seller. When they receive the shipment, the service forwards the package overseas, all for a small fee. I used Global Ratuken's recommended service but had issues trying to pay the $14 fee to that service.

Global Ratuken's confirmation e-mail said to expect another e-mail in a few days with the shipping fee. Then I have to confirm those charges in order to complete the transaction. Otherwise everything is cancelled.

It's not a user friendly experience for US buyers but I hope to have a factory seat that's 20mm higher than the US seat........in a month or so. Maybe.

hmmmm.. google's exchange converter is way off then. i did it through another site and it's saying only $427US. still a little more than I'd like to spend on a seat at this point.

Sounds like a nightmare to deal with. Hopefully you get it though and can give us an update.

FYI--I tried to order a taller Cozy Seat (74922) from Webike a few days ago, and was informed they're on back order until August. I canceled the order for now.

 

[Randy_S_imp]

I saw that Corbin makes a seat for the CB11 the other day, $453 for just the seat but they have a passenger backrest and backrest storage options.

That's a little disapointing. The stock seat is my only gripe with the CB11 and I was hoping to replace it in the coming weeks. Hopefully some other options as alluring as the Cozy will come out in the meantime.

I received a cancellation e-mail from Ratuken on my order for the Honda K-style seat, the 1970s model one that's 815mm high. I'm not sure of the reason since the e-mail was entirely in Japanese, but it came from order-cancel@rakuten.co.jp. Guess I'm going to have to find other ways to get into trouble with the bike, like maybe over at CB1100 | Samurider.com which seems friendlier to US customers.

post the email (or pm it to me) and i'll tell you what it says

Based on that, I don't know if I would order from them. I mean, the obvious typo in line 3, which is "ルについてご" Obviously, they meant to use "て"

[CB4ME_imp]

I didn't mean to steal this thread. I've been taking a hard look at the Daytona Cozy. I didn't know they came in 2 heights until this thread.

It sounds like the Daytona Cozy is on serious back order. But I'd love to get some detailed ride reports from those of you that have them, so keep them coming!

The seat in the Honda catalog shows up at Global Ratuken and E-Clubman. But seeing it and obtaining it are apparently 2 different things. (and I didn't see the Honda seat on Webike).

Here's a picture on the Honda seat. Tallest of the bunch, wide and flat, and the Honda logo on the back!

I ordered this seat and luggage rack on 4/22, two days after I bought the bike. I finally received it today. I would have had it two weeks ago, but it sat at the post office because they didn't leave a notice that they had attempted to deliver it.

Anyway, I installed both right away. The seat was easy. I just had to transfer a couple brackets from the stock seat. The rack was a little more complicated, but really only required removing 4 bolts and wrangling it into place.

I'll give my impressions of the seat after I have a couple weeks on it. For now I just went for a 2 mile jaunt to check it out. It's definitely flatter and seems slightly wider than the stock seat. The foam is nice and firm. I think I'm going to really like it, but it's too soon to tell.

I was interested in knowing your overall impression of the seat. The pros and cons for taller vs shorter riders. The overall comfort and Etc.

CB4ME: Help me out, where did you find this seat? The Honda catalog? I can't find it. Probably right in front of me... got a link? Thanks, appreciate the assist!
