I was getting ready to post a report on a comfort mod I had done on my seat. guess here is a good spot for it.
My recently acquired '96 was giving me the same pain in the tailbone, Drifter. Couldn't tolerate more than an hour on the bike at a time. The only other one I've had that even came close to this was a DR650. Spent as much time standing on the pegs as sitting.
I have had a couple of bikes that came with Corbin seats and they were good saddles for the long haul. Considering what I paid for the Savage, it would be hard to justify spending 1/3 the price of the bike on a seat!
Taking the recommendation of a friend, I took a chance on this guy hoping for a reasonably priced solution.
http://greatdaytoride.com/Home_Page.phpI still haven't been able to give it a true work out because of the weather, but my initial impression is very positive. What was done (see the page for details about what Spencer does) along with a sheepskin pad may be my lower cost comfort solution.
I could not find any previous posts about this guy among searches about seat mods, but if this is singing an old song, sorry about that.
A long ride evaluation will come when we get a break in the weather.
