I can generally live with the padding and design of the stock seat except for one major issue. The forward slant is driving me crazy. I am a pretty big guy so the little seat pocket is already a bit cramped. Add in that it is always pushing my jewels against the tank I can't take it for too long on a ride, especially when I hit the more tingly rpms of 5k+.
So what seat doesn't push you forward? I don't need a downward slope. I wouldn't mind a little bigger pocket if I am going with something different. It will have to be a buy and replace the stocker. I don't have time to send my stock seat out to be reshaped. I ride the bike every day.
The one option I might be able to entertain is to stop by Corbins on a weekend and have the do the seat there. Laam is too far out of my way to consider as a ride-in option. I could reasonably consider anyone between LA & San Fran to ride-in or just order one outright. I don't really want to spend a fortune on it either. Expensive doesn't always equal better. For example I compared a Russell day long and a Corbin on one bike. I liked the Corbin better. I've also learned though just because a seat from one company is good on a bike doesn't mean that their seat for a different model bike will be just as good.
