    Oh, just went with the Mid because it seemed that the King
    was for taller riders. I'm 5'11. Now you have me worried.

    Yeah, I have that. I was speaking of the blank square plastic
    near the bottom, next to the heat controls.

    Ok, good to know. I'm 5'11 with a 33". I'm comfortable on the stock
    seat. I think the Mid will work out.

    Don't be worried as it may be perfect for you. I had the luxury of mounting and sitting on both at a rally where Ultimate was set up as a vendor. Mathematically, the Mid was the recommended seat for me at 6'. However, I felt like it had me too far forward, crowding me up on the "tank" and creating too much bend in my knees. I was used to siting further back so I opted for the King instead which gave me the space I was used to having. I even installed bar risers that brought them back to me and am satisfied with the results. Fortunately Ultimate had a great return policy that will allow options.

    They probably used oil with friction modifiers which are so slippery they will make the clutch slip. I would change to rotella put on a few miles then change again. Make sure nothing is in the bottom of the circle on the oil you use.

    I see the area you mentioned now. On my bike which I purchased used, the previous owner used that area for heated gear switches. He installed the plug ins on the side of the bike. I think Honda gives that area for owner choice of accessories, like you’ve heard, volt meters and whatever.

    Make sure you double check the return policy for YOUR seat. I did not have a good experience and it cost me....but it seems that most others have had great results.

    I'm 5'10" and my inseam is 30". The Ultimate king seat works well for me. It's not as big as I thought.
