Not sure I can live with the dished seat. It feels like being squeezed by a vice from my nuts to my tailbone. I need 2 or 3 more inches of room. Any suggestions?
Corbin .................
Sargent (sp?) custom made

Before finding my Corbin, I modded the stock seat quite effectively. Looks basically stock, but broader support at the hips and flatter profile. Electric knife, some dense foam, contact cement and body rasp did wonders over stock.
Corbin is roomier though as it's one piece, but very heavy and no height adjustment.
Get some Mustang pegs on it. Best mod I've made to mine

Got some nifty aftermarket pegs on it. That wont help my nutz much. May try to modify the stock seat.

I am with you John. I put those on after having my seat modified by Spencer at Greatdaytoride. Did 300 miles the on Friday with no discomfort at all. Now for some hiway pegs.

+1 on Spencer "greatdaytoride". When it was all said and done I spent about 150 bucks with him including the shipping. He turned my seat around in 72 hours and it is, hands down, the best seat I've ever owned on any bike I've ever had. Of course he's custom making the seat based on your stats (inseam, arm length, weight, seat position, passengers stats, equipment you carry, etc). When you think you've given him enough info he has you add more info then turns it into a fantastic custom seat.
I would likely have liked my Spencer seat had I been 4" shorter and smaller. Nice and plush. He levels the platform too so you're not sliding into the tank all the time too. Unfortunately it just didn't work for me, as in leveling, he cuts away at the rear portion effectively lowering the seating position, instead of building up the front. For me it kind of created this situation...
