Tad,
If the roads ever clear again I'll be glad to let you ride mine to see how you like the Corbin seat and the Proressive shocks. I really love them and think it makes a huge difference with both the mods. I get a sore back ocassionally but never from the bike.
No worries about the replacing either, a very simple 15 minute job for the rears, 15 minutes for the seat and probably another 15 minutes for the front springs.
I got mine here by the way
Progressive shocks at maonline I got the 440 series and they are very easily adjustable for any riding situation.
