At a svelte 240 lbs soaking wet, the stock BA seat just didn't cut it for me. I was good for about 25 minutes before the pain started. I sent the seat off to Mean City Cycles in North Carolina to get it re-packed. the price was reasonable and the turnaround was quick (less than a week). I got the fat guy special that has 2 different layers of memory foam. So far the Wisconsin winter hasn't allowed me to try the "new" seat out yet. I'm hoping it is an improvement.
