Is the stock seat that uncomfortable or is it the forward position of the feet that makes the pressure points different on our rear ends?? I did notice after a short ride that my rear hurt. Kindof hits on some wrong nerves somehow. I was considering having gel added to the stock seat (maybe) and having it recovered with real leather, Also, if I got a Corbin, I wondered if it's possible to just have the stock pillion recovered with leather instead of spending another $230 with Corbin. It might not look that bad (!). One thing I for sure need is foot pegs under the driver's seat, like the regular upright driving position on a bike, in addition to the forward controls the America already has. Whoever said "bank drain" was right.
