I've been using an old FreedomAir seat pad on mine. I have found it does break in over time. It is better now (without pad) than new.

Still, it is not 'good' by any stretch of the imagination.

I've had seats modified by Astech Seats in the past. I am going to do a Ride-in seat mod there in a few weeks.

They also do mail-in service but with a ride-in, you can actually take it for a spin to test it, then they will add/subtract/modify and repeat, until you say it's perfect.

They cut away oem foam, place a lightweight honeycomb gel pad then cover with a proprietory foam to build the shape/height/slope desired.

The oem shape of the seat is screwy, I think.
From a top-down view, it makes sense...A large rider seat, narrow at the front and wide at back, with plenty of room to move around on it. Then a sufficient space at the rear for a passenger.

But the side view has that stupid demarcation ridge that is too far forward, intruding into the rider's space.

I am going to have this corrected and take full advantage of the space. I will also add a little more vertical height to the seat and a lot more cushy foam.

I'll report back with the final result next month.

$269 dollars for a custom modified seat.

Less than buying one of these...

Does the seat pan itself have a hump in it?

No

Yes, the seat pan is shaped but the sharp demarcation on the top is in the foam not from the pan.

I want mine raised (so adding foam will NOT be a problem-they will make a new cover, if needed) with an enlarged scooped rider section and a reduced but slightly higher (than rider) pillion section.

here's a rough sketch...
