The one I had was comfortable, but they are a lot heavier than the stock seat. Shipping prices are killer.

Man, I'm glad I got mine 10 years ago. I think it was a tick over $400 and I had it customized for my butt at the factory.

however

im short, and my legs are fine w it, height is great, but it sits me too far back in the seat and my arms are stretched out. so, I'm going to see if i can get comfortable by rolling the bars back another 1.5". If not, in the box it goes and maybe back up for sale. still was a heck of a good deal though

When I had them build mine I had them add extra padding at the rear of the pocket to push me forward because they have the seating position so far back. I was used to sitting just about on top of the tank on the stock seat, so that far back wasn't gonna work for me. I think they added a inch or an inch and a half strip of foam to push it forward and that made enough of a difference for it to be comfortable for me.

You can see the extra strip here:

I think I’ll bid - not in love with the red piping though.

The modding didn't cost anything. They will customize a seat for you while you wait and it's all the same as if you bought one off the website. I was fortunate enough to live close enough to them at the time to do this.

When I saw your post, I thought I'd offer to sell you my daytona seat and save you a few dollars. My problem is the cost of shipping. How do people find shipping for any kind of reasonable price? If I sell the seat for $100, USPS will charge me $100 to ship it, because of the size of the box. That isn't much of a deal. If I split the cost with the buyer, I still get screwed, but the buyer is at least getting a decent deal. If the buyer pays shipping, his savings are pretty much out the window and he's getting a used seat that might not be as nice as he had hoped. How do businesses ship for less? Is the corporate rate so much cheaper? My daughter has a business, would it be worth it for me to have her get a corporate shipping system? Thanks for any help.

maybe less. webike has them shipped for a hair under 300. got apic of your seat?
I'd like to get shipping for that price. USPS lists $101 for a box 7"x17"x32" weighing 10lbs, from 85340 to Charleston, SC. The destination may be a little different, but that was just a guess.
