Put this on your side of the dual tour.  You don't need another seat.

Took my seat here

They cut out the foam and replace it with soft, then harder gel.
My seat feels great now. And all for about $300.

Why don't you keep your OEM I/S seat and purchase a used I/S then send it to Sargent Seats of Jackson ville FLA. Sargent will modify a stock seatpan and I/S backrest quite reasonably.

About three years back I had them reshape and add their "atomic cell" foam, moved the rise rearward, narrow the front (short legs) and recover both the seat and backrest for the sum of $268/00 including shipping. This seat fits me better than any Corbin or Ultimate that I've ever tried. And you still have your OEM seat if you want it.

I have a OEM I/S seat that looks like crap, but i'll sell it for $45.00 + shipping.
Just e-mail me at dukenjoey@yahoo.com.

My OEM seat has gel inserts under the OEM cover and I also put a sheepskin on it for longer rides. It held up for the 1,000 mile in one day run to NC this summer.

Forget the $45.00,...how bout $30.00 plus shipping.

Checkout the Sargents website. Lots of info and options, they tailor the seat for you and stand by their products if you are not happy with the end result. I've also had them reshape and reupholster the seat on my I/S and my wifes GoldWing and she is very pleased.
