Hey Everyone!

Just had the Can Am Comfort Seat installed on my RS. It's awesome. Love it so much more than stock! Recommend it to everyone.

how much do they cost?

Seth,

Spent just under $400 on my Can Am Comfort Seat. Love it.

[SethO]

awsome, how many miles you got on the seat on one trip? I didn't have trouble until I was going over 600 miles a day.

Seth,

I have about forty miles on it right now, but I'm planning a trip from Wilmington, NC to Williamsburg, VA in about a week. It's about 290 miles one way. I've also purchased a Cramp Buste (http://www.crampbuster.com)r in an effort to not have to spend so much money on an actual cruise control option. It cost me about 15 bucks at my local motorcycle shop here called Britt Motorsports (http://www.brittmotorsports.com)

I drove home about 10 minutes with it tonight and seemed to like it just fine. I have to take the bike on Interstate 40 tomorrow and see how it works on there.

I'll let you know how the seat holds up, and the Cramp Buster too.

I was fine with the stock seat for short times in the seat.

Eventually, as I took longer rides I noticed the discomfort extending into serious discomfort.

I now have the Comfort Seat. Whew!!!!!! What a difference.

I rode (with a few breaks for gas and other things) about 8 hours last Sunday. I covered well over 400 miles.

I cannot say it was completely without discomfort -- but, anytime I was starting to think I might be reaching the discomfort point it was time for one of my breaks. So, I never really had an issue.

I don't think I could ride 600 miles continuously like I can in my car -- but, the Comfort Seat is a dramatic improvement.

Curious! The stock seat seems to be more cushioned than the Comfort Seat when you look and touch each of them side-by-side. Confusing . . .

[TreeHillSpyder]

In my opinion, I feels like the placement of the padding on the comfort seat helps to make it more comfortable for me. Spending most of my time in a chair, and having full sensation, I noticed that I was overpowering the stock seat more than the comfort seat so far. We'll have to see if I feel the same way after the VA trip this week.

Hi Brian,
Hearing lots about the Comfort Seat. Does it come with removable back rests like Corbin Seats? How far have you ridden on it?

Keep on riding,

Does not come with backrests, just an improved lumbar support in my opinion.

I have a air hawk in mine, as well as roadhammer, no more pressure spots.

I was debating going with the gel but others have had good luck with the airhawk.

I seen somewhere that gel pads over extended time dont provide the necessary butt protection we need. You might have to do some research, i know roho's will do the job well.

DO you have it on top or did you dish out your seat?
