Lounge chair positions are dangerous (in LA, CA.) The universal upright can do anything, and with foot pegs, you can even do lounging, but I would not suggest it in heavy city or expressway traffic. i use slightly leaning for vision and ergonomic handling control, and leaning on expressway for wind/gas efficiency and less wind noise banging on helmet visor.
Slightly leaning is best, but seating positions should slightly be altered constantly so pressure on coccyx and seat-skin parts to keep blood flowing (Yo' Baby Yo'!) You can't slightly alter seating contact points on crotch rockets or lounge chairs!! I also have 2 modular gel pads and a Coleman atv cover (to keep Sun from heating up gel pads.) When I lowered mine for lower cog/handling, I went from one gel pad to two. Note, I used my cut-up center TechSpec tank pad on my front-top side cowls to keep all the straps from pads eating into my paint. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ahi3QDeM_10/V3hoYSXUhLI/AAAAAAAABC4/36iU8yC1YDMkB6r9Uz-4tkL9iSRQ3NfZwCLcB/s1600/DSC01493.JPG> I recently added a Tribolseat rubber net to keep me up on the hump when stretching my legs for circulation in my knees. It worked with my 100+ lbs. of groceries in my 40" dia x 40" long duffel bag (from Walmart to my house) so I'm happy. It got uncomfortable sliding down in the seat with 100 lbs.of groceries on my back, and not be able to get back up until I got home! Now I can slide around in the front craddle of the seat when supermotoing and hold me up on my seat hump stretching my legs EVEN when I hit my front brakes (that used to really piss me off.) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-joONJBo8uOg/V3hoj146-aI/AAAAAAAABC8/9zAHgWyh3LUenf7icKY_360nUtGI7_44ACLcB/s1600/DSC01492.JPG> On Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 8:59:08 AM UTC-7, Paul wrote: > > Here are two good images to show the difference in riding position and > these are BOTH on a Honda. > > Top image is new (but retro) Honda cb1100 and bottom image is Honda CTX700N > > > > > > > *Paul LeBoutillier * > *www.hondanighthawks.net <http://www.hondanighthawks.net/>* > Honda Nighthawk Lovers Email group > <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nighthawk_lovers> > > On Tue, May 17, 2016 at 7:04 AM, EGrider <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > >> You should have already had it once in the form of the Magna you bought. >> With Honda, the CTX or DN-01 should also fill the bill. >> >> I find that the slightly forward position shares my body weight with my >> rump, so my butt gets sore faster on a cruiser-style bike.
