30 mins. and the seat is painful. | Thread profile

Hey guys, I started this thread and I just want to let y'all know that the seat got softer or my parts got tuffer. I havnt changed anything and I am still riding and can stay in the saddle for a couple of hours now. When the bike was new it was a killer.

Well, I started modding my original seat yesterday... carefully panning and dishing it out a little at a time. I've cut down the "ridges" significantly. I'm using some of the cut foam to build the back up to make a backrest much like the Top Saddlery. More to come.... Pics when I've completed the project!
