    Gen 1 Hard seat

    On a trip to Scotland and touring around for a few days I found my standard seat uncomfortable after a few hours. Bike is a 2017 XR...
    A numb bum is not nice.  :012:
    Does anyone know of a comfy seat for the Gen 1 that is better OR had a standard one modified with a Gel Pad etc??
    What is the answer?

    What seat options are available that are more comfortable?

    RyanGTXR is using a HP High. Is a normal/none high available and just as comfortable?

    I had the same issue with the Gen 1 seat.

    Elite Seats use memory foam and not (crap) gel inserts.

    Comfortable for 350+ miles.
