Hey Jerry, I commute on my bike to work most every day (about 90 miles round trip) and bro, "I feel your pain"!!!! Within an hour, the factory seat (which LOOKS very comfortable) literally becomes a real "butt & back buster". I realize that replacing the seat is quite expensive, but I bit the bullet. I put the Mustang touring seat with backrest and also replaced the passenger seat with the Mustang as well. My absolute best advice is this. Even if you find a good gel pad for your bike . . . save up and spring for this seat when you can and you will ride for hours "on end" without any more discomfort. I guarantee!!!
