Corbin still makes seats and I've heard nothing but good things about them, but they cost $300 so that's probally not what you're looking for.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof, is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools....

Thanks to advances in automation, Nike shoes will be made by robots. Unfortunately, the robots will be made by children in Malaysia.

why don't you buy a second hand seat off ebay, and then try to find one of those gel cushins that people use when they have piles, remove the gel from that, pull out the staples from the new gs seat, sculpt the inner foam stick in the bit of gel and then get the seat stapled back up.
that shouldn't cost more than $50 including a new seat.

piles..Piles, or haemorrhoids, are areas in the anal canal where the tissue, which contains lots of blood vessels, has become swollen.
you know sores on there arse, didnt your teachers at school ever say don't sit on the cold concrete or you will get piles. :icon_mrgreen:

i agree on the seat thing,, since it is a crotch rocket style (my GSF) bike it purposely pushes you forward on the bars for control. its really not a rocket so i dont see the need for an aggresive stance. so heres what im doing, i purchased a used seat on ebay cheap, i cut the center out of it where it rises towards the back and im going to cut the inner fender as well. then im going to reshape the seat flater and longer back, and recover with a gel pad, foam. BTW i get my gel pads from a kayak shop there quite large and only cost $35 or so.

Also check any local shops that will add padding to your seat.  Or your local appolser ( spelling is wrong ) but they sometimes will do it.
