[QUOTE="lonerider, post: 1272218, member: 17455"] If you're not in a hurry to correct this situation, you might consider attending one of the owner's meetings and asking to swap seats with a Russell, Laam, Spencer, Corbin owner for a day. That would give you a better idea of what would suit you. Seats are a pretty subjective issue, most on here prefer the Russell or Laam but individual physical conditions can make a difference. When I bought my GSX1100G in 2002, I had an ongoing problem with my left knee, injured in a wreck in 1970 and the ACL removed in an operation in 1971. This caused me extreme discomfort with the G's stock seat, so I switched it for a Russell, which I loved for years. In 2010, I went down hard on my right hip in a too close encounter with a kamikaze forest rat. Since that injury, the "wings" of the Russell cause that hip more discomfort than the OEM seat (with a Beadrider) of my FJR. If I were in the market now, I'd be considering something with a different profile just because of this experience. [/QUOTE]
