With spring almost sprung it's time to start getting ready for the season, and to more fully enjoy it i need a better seating situation. I acquired the bike last spring and took the season to get use to it and riding in general given it had been 20 yrs or so since my butt had graced the seat of a 2 wheeler. The bike came with a Corbin seat. When at the dealer there were a few others sadly already sold but one had the stock seat and while i know many people here find it a instrument of torture, for me it seemed more comfortable than the Corbin, in that it was much narrower at the tank, and for me with SFB (Short Fat Bastard) syndrome it made moving it around when parked a lot easier. Can't speak to any sort of long term comfort.discomfort as i did not have a change to ride it, just sit on it.
I also noticed that after a while on the road that my inner thighs by the tank tend to get a little sore due to the width of the seat. I am going to try and remove some of the foam from that area this year to see of that helps. Otherwise having nothing else to compare to, the Corbin seemed ok for a few hours in the saddle, can't speak to marathon sessions like you all but for the shortish rides i did it was fine.
The questions come due to what look like modifications done under the seat, in part for the addition of the Audiovox cruise control (which is really handy i might add) and perhaps to fit the Corbin. Does any one see anything in the photos below that would prevent returning to a stock seat, or any other seat for that matter. For the record the Corbin is a 2 piece.
Thanks again for any and all advice.
