Comfort question
« on: April 23, 2011, 03:53:04 PM »

So what does everyone with the new CVOs think about the comfort of the stock seat which is the 1 inch lower HD Heated Hammock seat?

I been around the block with seats for yrs now and since they lowered that seat im curious how everyone feels about it on long rides? I know answers will vary and I have done a search but haven't seen anything specific to what im looking for thats why im posting it.

A dealer is offering me that seat at 10 percent over cost and just don't know if I want to dump the cash again or just deal with a sore A$$

Thank you

The seat on my RGUSE is far more comfortable than my SEUC. It sits lower and isn't nearly as wide.

The seat on my SEURG is the most comfortable seat I've ever had on a bike.  I can sit in that saddle all day long.  To me, it's the best seat the MoCo's ever come out with.  This is the first time I haven't considered an aftermarket seat.  I'm very happy with it.

I do, but compared to the SEURG seat, it's hard and not as comfortable, but still a good seat.

Well if I can get the dealer to let me take it for a couple hour test ride as a trial like other companies do I might be wiling to give it a try.  When I sat on it at the dealer on the 2011 it felt nice, but its also hard to tell cause those bikes sit higher than the 2008 plus the rear floor boards make your legs spread out further too.

Keep the opinions coming please, anyone not like them? if so why?

Almost 500 miles of saddle time this weekend.  BSR and I think it's a keeper.

I had some discomfort on day one of a multi day ride, day two was just fine. I tried the Mustang seat which moves you a little further back (I have monkey arms) and lower and the riding position was better but the seat did not compare to stock. I am just going to keep the stock seat for when I have the Tourpack installed and get a customized Corbin for solo rides.

The seats not bad at all. Its not as good as the old hammock seat (rider only). It sat me back about an inch. Sold it to my buddy, that was a mistake. I may try a corbin dual tour but I'm liking the new seat better the more miles I put on it. I love the heat. Still kinda cool around here in the morning lately.
