If you know anything about the corbin seats you'd know that they are harder than stock seats. A lot of people love them.

Might try hardening up the seat???

Regardless I'd contact Badx...

Hey...I tip the scales at 235# right now. I have 11,000 + miles on my bike. All by me. But this seat is driving me crazy. Longest road trip was 2,200 miles up to Maine and back. I think the seat should be broken in by now, but it's getting worse.

Hey... If you would have sent your seat out to MCC back when we all told you to, you'd be posting about how great your MCC $125.00 double decker memory foam seat is now, instead of still bit#hing about how terrible the stock seat is.

Be glad to help, but what's soft?
Will a thousand miles of me in the seat be enough? would 20,000 miles be too much?
It's all subjective man!

But almost anyquality auto upholstery shop could add foam and a gel insert to make it better.
Or go buy an aftermarket one.

I don't think it's the foam is too stiff, but rather too soft and not enough of it. Least mine is.
HD uses cheap materials and makes a cheap seat. But they have to meet a price or the price of bike would go up equivocally.

Follow the advice given previously and contact Allen from www.meancitycycles.com

Short story long...Desperate for a more comfortable seat than stock, I bought a HD comfort stitch for my Road King Classic. I suffered with that saddle for about two years and couldn't stand the ache in my shoulders any longer. After reading numerious posts about Mean City Cycles, I contact Allen and asked about having my comfort stitch adjusted to fit me. I had Allen add the hospital grade foam (read TempurPedic) and lower the drivers area two inches. He also added his triple decker to the wife's area. I sent my comfort stitch to Allen's for modification. On my way to Club H.O.G. in Knoxville I stopped by Allen's shop in Maiden, NC and switched saddles to my "new" comfort stitch. Oh-My-God!!! I could have ridden until my tank ran out of gas. MY saddle is now cut for me, built for me, and just right. And the wife? Remember the earlier, "read TempurPedic" statement? On our way back from Ocean City this weekend I felt the 'tap-tap-tap' of her helmet against mine as she dozed off to sleepy land from the comfort of her new saddle area. (thank goodness for bungi cords)

Contact Allen. Tell him what it is you're looking for, how tall you are, and what saddle you're needing to adjust. Allen will tell you what he can do, and what he can't do, and at a price we can all afford. What more can we ask for in a merchant for bike products.

Just got back from Durango, CO, 2105.3 miles door to door. First day we did 500 miles all on a reconfigured seat by Allen at Mean City Cycles. No more monkey butt. Love it. Call him, he will help you.
