Hi all just new to the forum I have a 2023 trail ct125 was wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a seat that would sit just a little lower than the factory seat without giving up comfort any suggestions would be appreciated

I have no experience with it, but there is also a Diablo seat marketed specifically as being a thin and lower seat.

K-SPEED-CT44 K-SPEED Seat Diablo With Lattice Pattern For HONDA CT125 It's hard and ultra-thin. < For Beginners > Product code has been changed (old CT-JP8)

K-Speed are the company behind the Diablo brand, which is now "Diabolus" to avoid trademark issues.

I’ll 2nd that. I got a Diablo seat and I find it more comfortable than the factory seat. And yes, it is just a bit lower. I am only 5’7” and prefer the lower seat height.

FYI: Very easy to install too.

Glad to hear your satisfied with your Diablo seat I also like a lower riding seat just feels more comfortable for me going to order one thanks for your input.

I definitely don't want any of what he is smoking... it's like a damn rock!

Comfort? There is none to give up on the stock seat.

Another option may be to take your stock seat to a local upholstery shop to see if they can shape it with better foam (or whatever they're made out of) and maybe give you a lower seating position. I did this once on one of my bikes where a replacement seat wasn't available.

Depending on what prices in your local area though, the Diablo may be the cheaper option.

Isn't every aftermarket seat lower?

 

[dmonkey]

I think some of the "long" seats are also a bit taller.

Went ahead and ordered the Diablo i guess if I don’t like it I can always send it back thanks everyone for your input

You won't have to send it back, just post it in the classifieds here, and someone will take it off your hands...
