Now that I have had a few hours on the new seats here's my verdict: DRZ400 some improvement. V-Strom DL1000, significant improvement! I was able to put about 2300 miles on the V-Strom in July. They say it takes a 2000 to break the Corbin in and I believe it! I purchased a fleece to help the process for the long rides. Long for me is between 450 and 500 miles in a day. It wasn't pretty, but it was much better for me than the stock seat. I still would like a bit more of a cup in the back to take pressure of the tail bone, but like I said, it is a big improvement. .JPG)
I had a chance to ride up through Yellowstone Park and over the Beartooth/Cook City highway to Roberts Idaho and then back over the Chief Joseph Highway on the way back. Later in the month I rode to Boise and then with my son, Mark, up to Highway 55 & 95 to Lewiston and down the Oregon side of Hells Canyon. EPIC! From Pocatello and back it was about 1300 miles over 4 days.
I rode about 50 miles the day and it did seem to be broke in better, but haven't ridden any long rides since.
On the DRZ400 I had a couple opportunities to ride 25-35 miles. I replaced the foam with a softer foam. (the foam pictured is the original foam) I added some padded bike shorts to the ride and between the two, fared significantly better.
Anybody else have any issue with uncomfortable seats?
