I unfortunately wasn't able to ride this weekend, I got sick. I have had the opportunity to ride to work on the new seat for a few days so far. My initial thoughts on the seat were that it was stiff and the back support was weird. I was wrong, the seat is only stiff compared to my old stock seat with 30K miles on it. The seat has been very comfortable so far. The back support is still taking a little getting use to, but it's nice and keeps you in place if you ride hard. No regrets so far, I head out to Arizona Bike week next week on it.

Looks great! thanks for the update. looking forward to the report after bike week. is the back support too high in your opinion? or just different and after you get used to it won't notice it much?

The back support is just different and something I'm getting use to very quickly. It comes up to roughly the top of my belt.

Does it lower your butt any or is it just an illusion due to the high back support section ? I like the seat's look but don't need to be any lower than my stock SGS seat.

It feels like the same height.

How about forward to back? Are you any closer or further from your bars?

I feel like I'm in the same position.

I've been riding on the seat for about 2 weeks now. Still super happy with it.

Anyone put a full day riding into this seat yet?? My stock RKS seat has me wanting something else, and the look of this one keeps me coming back to it.

I'm hoping for some updates on this as well. Probably as the weather gets nicer and allows for it from those that have installed the seat over the winter.
BTW noticed you are from WNY. The profile pic you have wouldn't have anything to do with SFHS would it?

Im hoping so too. I really like the look of this seat. As for the profile pic, na, its the San Francisco 49ers. My favorite team. I do live in WNY tho. About 45 min south of Rochester.
