Find it very uncomfortable, I've had gel pads inserted now and hopefully this will help. Think kawasaki gel pads on the SE seat are made from solid and not gel at all!!!

The SE does not have GEL pads, unfortunately.

I wish it did.

I have a second SE seat that I've had a gel pad fitted to. It improved the seat a little but didn't make a significant difference. :(

What did the seat cost you? I just checked the Sargent webpage and found the seat but no price.

Thanks.....I've gotta do something about the stock seat on my SXSE it's got to the point where I can only ride about 30 -45 minutes before I get sore. I've owned a lot of bikes and this is the worst, by far, seat I've ever sat on.

Today I used a speed metal gel pad I bought from Revzilla and it worked pretty good for about 150 miles. Not a permanent solution but a cheap alternative until I can afford a custom seat.

And you know what's funny? I also have owned and ridden a lot of bikes and this is probably the most comfortable stock seed I have ridden, and I do big days

So weird

Any day now my seat ought to arrive. My butt's sure been painfully waiting.
