Looking for some seat advice.

Thanks all!

@Tev I might end up picking up a set of those Skiveez just for the CRF450r. There have been some trips where those would have been real nice to have.

I definitely understand that a super plush/soft seat isn't such a great thing. I've had a few soft seats on our 4-wheelers that wore so quickly and poorly I ended up putting them back to stock. And really, I don't find the stock seat to be too stiff or too soft. I think its more of a positioning thing. I do suppose that I only have my CB and my buddies stock Yamaha Bolt R-spec for any reference on street bike comfort, at least for being the operator. Passenger, I grew up on the back of my dad's Shadow 1100 A.C.E. and then the Valkyrie Interstate when he traded in the Shadow.

After giving it some more thought, I'm wondering if I just need to get more long rides (1.5 hours+ straight) on the stock seat to really get the feel for just what is/was causing the discomfort. Since it only happened the one time all last summer, I'm starting to wonder if it was just a fluke on my part.

So far, we're planning a trip to the coast (1.5 hours one way) and a trip up to the mountains (2.5 hours one way). I'm sure there will be plenty of stretch/photo stops along the way, especially for the buddy on the bolt.
