I did this to my ATAS because I had to fight with my a.. after 3 hours riding so did check into custom seats but appeared to expensive to me I made a YouTube video if anyone has issues like this I would recommend to try gel pad into the seat.
In combination with the gel pad it made a big difference 6 hours riding is easy now and did also about 10 hours a couple of times that was unthinkable before. I know some people have no issues at all with long riding times but for me after 2 plus hours it became less relaxed. For me this worked out really well on the end.Interesting
how much difference did the new seat cover make?
Looks good, but substantially taller. My short legs wouldn't tolerate that! I did a seat concepts foam and cover on my seat to keep the height down. It's better, but not amazing. I've done put a sheepskin on it too and that seems to help, but I've not been in a long ride since.
I had a custom seat made twice , made the bike an absolute pleasure to ride both times like buying a quality helmet , you got a cheap head or not . My butts worth it to me , ready made aftermarket’s we’re barely an improvement over stock that in most cases suck except my Dago bikes , the stock seat is better than aftermarket .
I don’t think so , I know several people that are rather proud of their heritage . I can’t claim it but there’s a whole lot about it I like .
