russell saddle. no pain whatsoever.

Take the pain! TAKE THE PAIN!!! Seriously, it's something you need to get
used to. At first I was ready to get off the bike after just 35 kms (bout
20 miles) but now that I've gotten lots of time in the saddle, a 600 mile
day is nothing. Last month I did 5400 kms in just 4 1/2 days, that averages
725 miles per day. I WAS sore then
I found that both the bikes' seat
and my rear had to break into each other. Plus, the KLR is blessed with a
big fairly flat seat so you can really move around on it. I found that on
my big ride by the end of the day I was moving around constantly to keep to
hot spots down to a minimum.
I can't really believe there is a motorcycle seat out there that will allow
a 600 mile day without it letting you know you sat on a motorcycle for 600
miles. Some are probably pretty darned good, but even sitting in a car seat
for 600 miles will give you a hot spot or two.
