I'm having a local seat maker put 1" of memory foam in my seat. The result will look just like stock, only much more comfortable. All in, $90 Canadian. Just dropped it off today, so I'll post some pictures when I get it back.

Pizz very awesome! Let us know how it works out

Just got my seat back from Spencers. I got the Supracor LD upgrade. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I liked it on my old Duc ST2. Looks virtually the same as stock and doesn't store heat like gel. Worth a try for $75 plus shipping. Check out GreatDayToRide.com if interested

Here's another site for seats. They specialize in watercraft but now doing sportbikes. They will do our bikes and can add foam or gell for additional price, totalling $100 or so. Call to set up arrangements and customization. Worth a look too. Hydro-Turf-Performance Traction Products

I had my local seat upholsterer put an inch of memory foam in my stock seat. Total cost was $90.

Got it back today:

I'll need to wait for a 4+ hour ride to see how it really works.

It'll be a while. It was nice enough to ride yesterday, but it's getting cold for the next couple weeks.

Do you at least have anything to say about it? Better? Softer? Not too many of us here plan 4+ hour rides, but I'd like to know what you think of it right now compared to stock.

Well, weeks after getting mine, a couple of us did the skyline trip, for me, it was over 10 hours from start of the day 'till I got home.... needless to say, I was a little sore the next day, and not just my seat. But yeah, in general an hour or two is the norm.

I'm definitely looking for some more padding, even if it's just a strap down cover, my hour commute would probably be a little more comfortable.
