While I'm happy with mine, there are always others looking to better theirs and I thought I'd ask what type it is and what mods were necessary. Divecop's bike...

divecop Ex Member	Re: Divecop's Seat Reply #6 - 06/05/06 at 15:06:38 Another reason I opted to stay with the Standard seat is that the gel or the pillow lower the seat another inch and I am 5'6" tall and have more than enuf legs to deal with so I did not want to be another inch lower...

That's what I have. It definitely raised me compared to the stock Savage seat.

I love my stock S40 seat. I've done some good day long rides and never had this "Monkey Butt" everyone complains about. Maybe it's my 5"4" frame, maybe it's the new seat. Any other S40 riders feel it too uncomfortable that they had to change it?

I don't really like my seat, 05 S40. I'm 5'8'' and 175lbs. I find myself against or on the hump most of the time and it's pretty uncomfortable there on longer rides. Butt gets kinda numb, then have to re adjust. Been thinking of getting a Suzi gel or pillow top. My question is, is it worth the expense??
By the way, the first service will be done on the 7th!!! Here come the MODS!!!! SE, jets, spacer, K&N !!!

I think it isolates a lot of the vibration I felt with my stock 98 Savage seat. However, if I were to only choose one thing to improve ride comfort, it'd be upgraded shocks.
