My seat feels better now, took about 3K miles, seriously, I almost bought a new seat like some others...but >$400 for something the bike already came with bothered me, so I hung in there and I did start getting used to it.

If anyone upgrades their dlx seat to another style and wants to let go of the stock nor let me know!

iPhone apparently thinks "stock nor" is a thing worth autocorrecting to, but I meant stock one.

Try one more click (up) at the back. Makes it more focused.

Might be a little uncomfortable with standard tyre pressures.

I liked it but went back to stock when I pumped my tyres up.
