The size and support are not a problem for me. The downward forward slope of the seat is a problem.
This is not a NC only problem, as other Hondas have had this concern as well. The ST1300 is one that also suffers from the forward slope. ST riders have made adjustments to solve the problem. ST has a three position seat height adjustment. Their fix was to position seat on the front in the top adjustment and the back placed in th skid or low position.........downward slope gone. Honda never intended for this slope adjustment but it does work with a little tweaking.
To change the slope on the NC.
The NC front seat locator tab can be placed on the top of the frame bracket instead in the bracket. This can be done a test. I liked the new position so much......in the process of fabricating a new seat front hold down bracket. The new bracket hold the front of the seat on the top of factory bracket.
This new position of the front of the seat is raised about 3/4"......downward slope gone.
Measured on the center stand middle of the seat has 3.0 degree slope down, if the front bracket location is changed the seat is level or 0 degree slope.
