[QUOTE="Tree Doc, post: 887965, member: 20267"] Correct. IMO, Soft = BAD! You don't want to sink in to a seat. It will create pressure points and not allow you to easily adjust your position. Every ass is different but in the case of most OEM seats on different bikes I have had, OEM fails big as I can only last an hour before the pain sets in. When I first saw a Russell that I heard so much about, I said there was no way in hell I would EVER put one of those fugly things on my beautiful FJR! A few long distance rides later on my Corbin and I HAD to do something. I went for the Russell. It is the most incredible seat I have ever had on any bike! The wife and I can roll for days and days. The seat comfort factor has been completely eliminated from our lives. I'm 6' and hover at 200#. I have no problem with the wings and aggressive twisty riding. My natural position is up pretty close to the tank and the Russell is built for me. It's nothing for me "hang a cheek" when necessary in the turns. Best money I have spent on the FJR out of all my farkles. [/QUOTE]
