I felt pushed forward at first too, Scott. It's something I wasn't happy about at first with but it's fine now as I got used to it as well.
About the ride...My butt hurt too for awhile and it took over 1000 miles to get the feel that it's conformed to my rear. Give it some more time and see.
Not every ride is outstanding either. For example, the ride coming home from your rally this year was as painful as I could stand. I was sore for a week. But that doesn't happen very much.
