I know this has been discussed but cant find info I am looking for.
Standard seat is like a board and I find it hard to keep from slamming into the tank during hard breaking. After looking over many opinions on different seats I decided on the comfort seat.
Pluses is the seat is one inch higher so my bad knee gets some relief. Seat is also a little softer.
Minuses is that the one inch in height make me feel more on top of the bike. I also feel less comfortable with the reach to the ground and that I have been getting tiered on shorter rides. Not sure what this is as I don't feel like I am carrying too much weight on my arms. I am also noticing an increase in wind on my shoulders.
I am thinking of taking the standard seat and changing shape to be a little higher in the front and only 1/2 inch in the center, thinking that maybe this will be a better compromise. I am also not fond of the sticky cover on the comfort seat. I feel that while if keeps me in place it doesn't allow for moving around as easily and left me with a sweaty crotch after 90 miles.
Has any one gone though the different seats and gone back to the standard?
