Default Danny Gray Hump??

I bought the Big Seat on e-bay fr individual because I wanted a little more back support. I'm 5'8" 157 lbs so I have no butt. They put a hump in the middle of this seat for some reason, I guess it's for larger riders, for me this snugs my jeans and briefs uncomfortablly tight. I have 700 miles on it and my question is does this hump break in after awhile ? I know there will be some smartass remarks so fire a way. Does anyone likes these seats?

I think any time you get a new seat that there will be a “break-in” period. I paid $$$ for a mustang touring seat, Took a couple weeks in the seat before it felt right. Give it a little time before you give up on it.

Please let us know if this problem works itself out. I was just looking at that seat two nights ago and wondering how comfortable it is. It's one of the few solo seats made that will fit my bike.

I've got a Danny Gray Big Seat that I bought used from a guy on this forum...I LOVE IT!!! I'm an inch taller and 7 lbs heavier than you and have not noticed the ridge causing my boxer shorts or blue jeans to ride up my crack.

Thanks, I think it's getting better since we can still ride here in UT. and I try to get a couple hours a day break-in. I like the back support and looks.
