As the headline says, i need to improve my seat, have done rear rubbers mod, have done diy improvements to fit firmer foam, but now ready to purchase an aftermarket solution. Plenty on reviews on corbin and bms! But am in the UK so looking at options available quickly here hence the question.

All answers appreciated.

I'll be starting a search as well as posting this. I know this is a old post but my butt needs help. I can't spend the large amount of $ for a custom seat at this point so need to go with a less $ idea. Gel seat or blow up I'm thinking - gel or blow-up, one or the other. I went with the bead seat on my last bike and it only helped with, lets say condensation of the butt, and that it did wonderfully but I need more comfort.

I have also done the lowering with smaller bushings with maybe a wee bit of help. I recommend that mod highly. Although I never felt like I was being "pushed" forward it does help that problem.

My ass was so very very sore for the last ten miles of a 220 mile ride last week (I took about bgv and that required at the end of the ride stopping way to often. I just couldn't imagine riding 500 miles in a day with-out stopping for a half hour or so every two hours. Go ahead and call me a wuss but if I am so uncomfortable that I start to loose my concentration on the act of riding defensively I cry Uncle dammit ....

I guess this is a bump for this old post but I will search more for alternate seat help. I sure would love a nice custom made seat but they are just to costly-!!

Best to all-!!
