Seats are a crap shoot on bikes. But they can be reworked by some one with a little knowledge. I'd bet a months rent that seat is a lot more comfy than the OEM seat for my Honda.

I found the seat on my 1100 pretty good.....But I sat on similar bikes & the seats were wider & harder......The seat on the 1100 custom is different than on other models & not interchangeable.

Of course I would be comparing it to the seat on my Suzuki Cavalcade with it's adjustable air bladder.

Comfort is very subjective.

Welp...

The deal just went up another 300 bux.

I was hoping to drop the asking price and 300 on insurance and leave it sit at a mutual besties place till I could do TTL.

He wont move on the asking price. He wont move on the trailer goes with the bike. He wants the TTL to happen the same day.
My budget was 4600 and could move to 4900 now has to absorb 5200 bux all in one wallup.

Christmas is coming very very soon.

This absolute rigidity may break the deal.

I've stretched as far as I can so I guess ball is in their court.
I can do 5 grand total for everything but meh. I don't have any more.

Sorry... I'm just ranting

Rant away. It is good to get things off your chest if only online. I had to do some ranting to a friend today about my inconsiderate neighbor who is having a great time doing some major work in the apt next to me. All she had to do was give me a heads up about demolition noises and the fact that pictures were falling off my walls.

Back to the bike. If you can't afford the bike so be it. There will be another bike down the road waiting for you to give it a good home. Watch CL and be patient.
