Me!.......I ride my Cafe' bike from early morning to late at night when we go on the group rides and I have put about 9,000 miles on mine since the Cafe' seat was installed. And yes.....the RYCA seat padding is far worse than the stock seat and the padding is very thin on the edges and can make the backs of your legs very tender where the backs of your legs rubs the seat edges....this is especially noticeable on rides where you stop a lot and have your feet down on the ground at traffic lights and STOP signs. I had my seat redone with thicker padding on the edges and it is far more comfortable. I also had to rework the angle of the clip-on handlebars to make them "all day" comfortable.
Still......I do believe the larger seat that Lancer showed will be a more comfortable seat than the RYCA Cafe seat.
