    try fitting a sheep skin cover to the stock seat should do the trick. Also ride smoother roads or slow down on the shit ones so not as bumpy .

    I'm getting rid of my sundowner seat as soon as I have the cash for tall boy seat for my softy.  Being 6'2" and having a couple dodgy discs in the lower back, riding the 96 kms each way to work is quite uncomfortable. I can't even stretch my legs unless I hang my heels over the pegs, where as having recently testing out the tall boy seat for a week or so, even doing a return 1000 km road trip from Adelaide to Edenhope Vic, was so much more comfortable and was able to straight leg it for a change with feet firmly planted on the pegs.
