Yesterday I had an enjoyable several hour (with lunch) visit with Lynn Jackson. Lynn rode out from KY on his CTX to have Seth Laam in Redding CA modify the seat, and he stopped in at my house in San Francisco late morning so we could finally meet in person.
I put some photos I snapped up on my website:
Index of /graphics/FF/Honda CTX700/LynnVisit2017
It was garbage collection day so there's lots of cans in the background, oh well . . .
We put the low profile Corbin seat off of my CTX on his bike to see how it differed from the Laam-modified stock seat. The Corbin is the one with the red piping on the seams. Lynn's seat is sized for a shorter person than I am and my knees were pushed into the fairing, and I could notice the higher rise on the back of the bucket on the Corbin. Lynn didn't have the passenger area of the stock foam modified since he doesn't carry a passenger. The Corbin is 3-4X the weight of the modified stock seat, it was a very noticeable difference.
It was fun to talk CTXs with him and hear how he was liking the suspension/seat modifications.
cheers,
Michael
