I'll tell you a secret too: if you're not afraid of taking apart your seat, you can VASTLY improve it's comfort for about $5.

Are you teasing us?

What is the secret?

A raw steak vacuum packed in antiseptic?

I tried adding Gel, but it got too hot.

I tried sculpting, but the foam got too thin.

My options were then to start with a new block of foam, and new vinyl, or to get a Rich Maund or a Corbin.

I went with the Corbin, which is much better on the butt than stock, but it slopes down too much and transmits more vibration.

I might try some sheep with a foam ramp to keep me from sliding forward.

I also tried tilting the rear subframe back about 1mm, (boring the mount poin with a dremel) but that did not noticeably help the seat angle.

So what is the secret? Neoprene, latex foam, Tempurpedic® foam, urethane foam? Gel?

A white seat would be butt ugly, but would stay cooler in the sun. I might consider gel, if I went with a brighter cover....maybe red or silver???

The black vinyl actually got harder from getting cooked by the heat of the gel.

I think Rich Maund insulates his gel with a layer of foam.

EDIT I took to long to post. Yah, what Ratchet and SoloNH said
