1. Fitment Issue
Can't review on comfort bcz I did not have a change to ride on this seat. However, from the looks of it, it is def. upgrade from the stock seat. But here is the bad - the fitment. Unlike the oem plastic hooks under the seat, saddlemen uses metal hooks. Those don't line up 100%. I guess you could bend them to make it work. For me, there was about 0.25 inch gap at the front (towards the gas tank) and under the seat. Gap was very noticeable on my R1. Wish manufacture have spent little more on R&D. Hope it will work out better for you if you are buying this.
