hey man , check around your local shops, there i a local shop here that does seat covers and they added 1 inch of extra foam, put a new seat cover that has a gripper top and the sides is a lightning/skulll graphic peice and they only charged me like 80$ for parts and labor, they have a ton of designs

I'm running +1 foam on mine that a local shop put on w/my Factory Effex gripper cover. I love it now, but w/o a +1 stem and soft bars it sat my riding postion up way too high.

if the problem is to hard of a seat, take your seat cover off and drill small holes in the foam it will soften the ride up quite a bit. dont drill pin holes but then again dont drill huge holes in your seat!
