How to make my stock seat comfortable

Hi

I'm sure this has been discussed many times before but I'm curious if there is any new information out there. I switched out the stock seat on my 2005 T100 for a Triumph/N. Hyde solo seat. It's better, not great but better than the stock seat. I would like to put the stock seat back on because I like the way it makes the bike look more retro AND it would allows me to bungie things to it more easily than the N. Hyde solo seat.

What is the best way I can improve the comfort? I don't want to just lay something "over" the seat. I want an upholstery professional or someone with experience to insert whatever will do the trick. Also, I would appreciate the contact info on a good person who may be able to do the job before mid May of 2008.

Thanks
Chuck

You could try having a gel insert installed,I've seen a few companieswho do it. The biggest improvement I've made though has been to wear a wicking base layer. Under Armor and related brands have improved my ride more then the gel seat I bought for my sprint.

Send it to Spencer for the $75.00 seat mod It'll do the trick quite well.
