Hi Harry, I had the very same problem, but on my XT660Z. I went through all the same solutions (i.e. sheepskin etc) and in the end only the Kahedo worked for me. To complicate matters, you then have to decide which height suits you best. For me the problem was that the standard seat forces you to sit in one place. So not only do your seat get sore after a while, your knees are stuck in the same position. I found a flat seat gives you the option to move slightly forward and backwards which gives you far better chance to do that whole day ride. The Kahedo seats are also a bit wider (more support), like an easy chair than the thinner rounder stock seat. Best bet is try sitting on one (find out who on this forum is near you). And then be patient and buy second hand (I did on Ebay), as generally they last for ever. Just look for tears and obvious abuse. Good luck with your search.
