RE: 2up ride through the north Georgia mountains

What higher seat? Do they offer a different one? I'm 6 FT tall, and the riding position is a bit cramped. A taller, thicker, seat could help that too. I put 60 miles on my new bike Sunday just tooling around town to strt breaking her in... and the seat did get a bit hard.

The seat is fine for the first hour, starts to get a little uncomfortable during the second hour, and noticeably uncomfortable after that.

I've never used seat pads but they should help. I just hate the way they look on the bike. I'm going to try the higher seat at some point, although there are no guarantees it will be any more comfortable.

Max weight load for the bike is listed as 351 lbs. We are around 400 lbs fully geared up. Engine pulls fine even at low RPM, acceleration is brisk, handling is great, and suspension easily handles the excess load.
