Default badlander custom?

I have been through corbin (huge mistake) and tried a couple of other seats and I just cant get comfortable.
I have a badlander seat which I LOVE but after about 45 minutes I am squirming and trying to get my butt to stop hurting.
I like being able to move back in the seat and lean back. Is it possible to really make a badlander comfortable? Let me know if you can make my butt happy!

Oh yes! We have worked on many Badlanders and actually have one on our Heritage that I ride a lot. The reshaping we do and addition of the memory foam makes the Badlander a very good seat. The only down side is the passenger section is so narrow we do not offer any modifications for it but the driver's section is no problem at all.

Thanks,
Allen

Hey Allen, I went ahead and ordered the seat today. Im booked for the 2nd.
Question. The guy suggested the double foam since I am 225. He said It was for guys above 240 but since I really wanted a comfortable seat to go with that.
I am ok with that. Question though..
Will it make my seat look huge and weird or will it pretty much stay the same.
Should I have stayed with just the single memory foam or will the double be a great addition?
thanks.

The seat will look very stock appearing. With the new memory foam we are using we take the seat all the way down to the seat pan when reshaping on the double decker where with the single layer we leave some of the stock foam so basically the look will remain the same.
