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.

 
Interesting

how much difference did the new seat cover make?
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.
 
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.

Yes the tall part is not an issue for me in fact that bike came with a lower aftermarket seat I did use that seat to try out the idea with gel pad. It's not my idea but I did see it on YouTube and other people did report positive about it so I did try this on the lower seat I did not need first.
The Sheep skin I also have but thanks to this I don't need it anymore 😁
 
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 .

“Dago”? That’s a slur isn’t it?
 
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 .
