Hey guys hearty hello from Sacramento, CA.
Keep your eyes open on Corbin's website for the new offering of a seat for our bike, and it should work for all since CTX700N's and fairing models have same seat.
I took the plunge and left my bike at Corbin in Hollister all last month, and they built the mold from my 700N. Yes, I got a new Corbin seat for free, with heated element and backrest. And my bike is now a professional model!
Saturday afternoon I rode up 101 to and cut over to Half Moon Bay. Got dark while crossing over, so I switched on the heat element... NICE! Rode up hwy 1 through SF, base of Golden Gate Bridge, down Lombard street, and went home over Oakland Bay Bridge.
Seat is marvelous, though stiff of course. Stock seat gave me lots of pain in my tailbone area after 20 minutes. Corbin seat does not. My thights carry most of the pressure now, but it is softening already commuting to work this morning. LOVE IT. The foam they use is really hi quality, and the cover is awesome. The removable backrest is really supportive, in fact my muscles hurt from sitting CORRECTLY on my ride home through SF (hey I am 45 and parts stickier). The seating position actually improved for me. I have 32" inseam, am 6'1", and weight 250 (me big boy!).
I recommend the Corbin seat if the stock Honda not comfortable or gives you hot spots. I added an Air Hawk to stock and it still wasn't enough to reduce that tailbone discomfort. If you get seat, go ahead and add the heated seat if you ride year round. I was shocked at how toasty it gets - I am confident with armored cold weather pants it will be real toasty.
