Default uncomfortable seat

on anything more than 100 miles the insides of my thighs get pretty sore w.here they meet the saddle. I'm thinking about buying a custom seat cover for my bike but before i do i was wondering if this is a problem with my riding form. I am also looking at playing around with some other types of foam but if it's a form problem then i need to fix that first. so i wanna know how do you hold up on long trips?

How tall are you? I've found even the stock F2 seat to be very comfortable and the riding position upright.

yeah, at about 75 miles I'm kind of tired of being in the seat. I just assume its par for the course, it is a rocket after all.

Wears me out too. I think part of it is the heat, not enough circulating air under the seat. Corbin makes an F2 seat if you got some cheese lying around.

I've had to roll up a towel to sit on, if I'm on my F2 for any length of time. That's why it's called a sportbike not a GoldWing!
