I had the same complaint with the seat-to-pegs distance. I added about an inch of firm foam to the front half, and built up the sides at the front a bit too.

I wanted to use the original cover so the Honda logo would remain. Because the seat cover did not have enough material at the lower edges by the front to staple in securely, my upholstery guy sewed an additional strip about an inch wide along both bottom edges of the rider portion, and stapled it back on.

Just that 1 inch made a big difference. Not perfect, but I really noticed it when I sat on a friend's CB1100. Total cost well less than $100, and if you don't like it, you can take the foam back out.

That is a pretty good job PD.

I suppose as I get crustier that might be an economical option I would consider.

Since I can tolerate up to 90 minutes, the stock is just bearable, but I also have a cushion to also help on long touring rides. (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-m...m_term=#/)

For one hour or less, the stock seat is currently serving. Dodgy
