I think the sno-seal does a good job for some items(boots), but I am beginning to think that I was just not meant to have a leather seat. (At least not while living in Portland) I just got some nice looking vinyl and will be redoing the seat again this weekend. I may take this opportunity to shape the foam a bit or even inlay some memory foam were my tailbone hits.
Wolf, sorry to hear of your problems. I've complained about my seat from day-1 and hope I have it worked out now, but haven't been able to ride lately so I haven't been able to try it out.
But... I realize it might be too late for this tidbit, if you are gonna work on your seat this weekend, but I ordered a piece of Saddlemen "raw gel" and inserted in my original seat. Its another option, unless you already have the memory foam. The gel is really dense and helps reduce vibration and softens bumps greatly. I love it, so I thought I'd mention it to you.
