Stock seat mods ??? 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Not sure if im in the right place for this but here it goes anyway. Has anyone ever made any mods to there stock seat to improve the comfort. I love the looks of the seat; so I would prefer not to change it. On longer rides though it seems that it might be a little soft for my weight or maybe the shape is a little off. Im not entirely sure what the problem is exactly; so I just thought I would ask to see if anyone has tried making mods to there seat with positive results.

Thanks.
