Many years ago, I traded my stock seat for a Corbin and never looked back. Each person is different so a person really needs to do their own experimenting to find just the right seat for them.

I know this has been said before, the best seat I had during 14 yrs of everyday riding was the police solo with the air bladder.
But then again, I wasn't in the saddle for too long.

https://ultimateseats.ca/ I have had several over the years on different bikes. They give you a trial time to see if you like it or not.

If you love to ride you get used to any seat.

Same here, mcfling. Get an AirHawk pad for the seat you have now. I didn't wanna be the guy above in one of these posts, who's had 4 different seats. That's alot of money to find out it doesn't feel right. I thought about the AirHawk for a long time. Finaly got one a few weeks ago. $125. Don't know why I waited so long. It's great.

In the car business, we used to say that there is a seat for every ***. Or, was it, there is an *** for every seat?

i believe it more a matter of time in the saddle. nobody *** is happy if u don't ride a motorcycle for three years then get on a 500 mile trip. i believe you need to build up your own endurance more than flip seats.

i refer you to post #17 above. i spend plenty of time in the saddle. more than 10k per year. more than a lot, less than some. i tried really hard to get used to the danny grey seats that i had. just couldn't do it.
