OK
Yes, even if you could find knobbies to fit the SE, I doubt it would be much fun to ride at those temps!

I didn't even realize that motorcycles tires had seasonal designations. I just assumed they were considered all season.

Nothing to do with Ergo Fit seat but does relate to winter riding:

Winter tires have a "Snow Mountain" symbol, that's usually what cops look for down here.

I'm fortunate to have 7 bikes in the garage. With the stock seat, my H2SX SE collected dust while I rode everything else simply to avoid pain. With the Ergo seat, my MT10, Superduke GT, and 14R, etc. all get by-passed so I can ride the H2. I've put another 75 miles on it today during a rare 50 (F) degree day in the Washington DC area. The Ergo seat should be the standard seat, versus a high priced optional seat. I'm glad Kawasaki at least provides an option.
I have received my SE Ergo-Fit reduced reach seat today.

Here are some pictures I took for comparison.

I think the ergo fit will eliminate the the issues I had with sliding towards the tank.

It looks like it's more dished out with less of a crown as well. That's what I had Sargent do to my OEM seat and it took care of the problem.

I sat on it, but it's hard to tell until I do an actual road test..

It doesn't seem to push me up on the tank like the OEM one.
