You guys may have what I call the iron butt, I did the mod with the gel pad in my seat and yeah now I can put more miles on it, but after 5 hours my butt hurts, no matter what, it is not as much as b4, but still. I try a combination of bicycle short (with padding) and the gel pad, and naaaaa, still hurts. Do not get me wrong I can put 300 miles on it in a day but I dont want to see the bike next day. I sat on a friend of mine corbin seat and that thing was firm like a piece of plywood. So when I am taking about seat, I think I may need something as comfortable as a cruiser seat for instance I tried the Boulevar c50 and the seat was great, that is what I need for my seat. I also tried the aprilia futura 1000 and the seat is extra confy, that was really good it was like a huge firm gel pad, really nice.
Still love my fz6
