Looking for seat suggestions
#1

I've done a bit of forum searching, but didn't see anything which covered this particular case.

I'm pondering the purchase of a '17 EX. Took a test ride on one the other day and the seat appears to be putting pressure on my perineum; the effect of which, while relatively minor, became noticeable after only 15 minutes. Also it felt a bit cramped, and I've no idea what that'll be like after a few hours since for some reason the dealers look at you funny when you ask.

I've purchased custom seats before; I've got a Day-Long on my DL650 which is the best seat I've ever owned, but I think it'd look a bit wonky on a CB. I'm all about function before aesthetics, but if function can be solved in a way which also looks good, so much the better. So, here's the question: anyone else have this particular problem and, if so, with what seat did you replace the stocker? If it helps:

5-11
180
32" inseam

Goals:
* all-day comfort. Yes, I take breaks, but even so.
* probably some extra height; I'm spoiled by my Vstrom and am used to a far less cramped position. Looking at lower legs to help solve this, but I may need both.

Bonus points are awarded if you have such a seat, live in the D.C. Metro area and don't mind me coming out and throwing a leg over (not to take the bike out, just to check out the seat).

Cheers.
