Karl and I spent almost 8 hours on the stock KLR seats on Sunday. It was
only about 300mi, but 80 of it was offroad.

This past four days I rode my KLR (stock seat, sheepskin on top,
highway pegs) 600 miles on Thursday, 100 of Friday, and 500 on
Sunday. I'm ready to hit it again. The sheepskin and the highway
pegs made it all work. Actually, I added a strange seat-cover from
Wall Mart that has these one-inch diameter bumps on it, and it made
the last day even better. I had a dished Corbin (original design) on
my previous KLR, and my current setup is just as good. Russell or
Mayer this winter, but I have another couple thousand planned in the
next month or so, and I'm in no hurry to change the seat.

Stock seat. No windshield. No highway pegs. Kenda K270s.

I don't think so. I just did Portland, OR to San Jose, CA in 12 hours
on my A14 with stock seat. The distance was 735 miles by the route I
took. I do Sequim, WA to San Jose twice a year, usually in one
day ... I don't really WANT to know how far that is!

I did 750 in 10 hrs a couple years ago on the stock seat. No biggie.
I actually think the stock seat is pretty good.

Holy Monkey Butt !! I thought I was going to 'up the ante' with the 625
miles on a stock seat I did last year. I beat my own record this year with
a run of 695 miles in 14 hours, but that was on a seat by Sport Tour.
Boy, you blew those records out of the water!!!

Dear Mr Brooklyn Bum,
You did that in 22 consecutive hours ? NON STOP, except for gas stops,
using the powder room, and food of course.
Very impressive.

I have put 545 in one day with no problems. After 1500 miles my seat felt
good as any . I have over 5000 miles in 2.5 months no complaints all

I used to do almost annual treks of about 900km each way, and one
year a couple of extra ~1500km days, but I was younger then and so
was the bike.
