Have been pondering purchasing the comfort seat for quite some time. Was on the fence due to the cost of the seat vs. the POSSIBLE reward of any additional comfort. After my bum going numb and legs cramping up on a recent ride I decided to purchase one.
I am happy with the purchase. I don’t find it to be a softer seat, however it appears to be designed in a different fashion; which allows more riding comfort. The seat is a little thicker than the stock seat and does not angle the rider forward/down toward the fuel tank. It also appears to release the pressure, cause by sitting on the regular seat, hence creating more comfort. The comfort seat is also more tacky, so if you’re used to sliding yourself around on the stock seat, that won’t be as easy on the comfort seat.
The only thing I’d do differently is look on the forum for a preowned seat first. I purchased mine through a dealer. The dealer was great, butI found many less expensive options after I made the purchase.
