Street Twin seat has gotta' go!

Man, that seat is nasty! Even with Air Hawk pad + sheep skin. I guess it's the shape of my skinny ass but this thing is torture.
Corbin makes a replacement but it's the non-passenger variety; the "Street Fighter".
Has anyone here had the same issue and found a good alternative? Is Triumph's bench seat any better per chance? It seems to me seat is designed only to look good rather than feel good.
I rode about six hours yesterday and overall, I like this bike - except for that horrible seat and the bars being too far forward for my arm length. :frown2:
Brakes and suspension also need an upgrade but those can wait 'til later.

I went to my dealer and tried every seat they had in search of something better than the ST seat. The bench seat was way too hard and flat and the T120 seat felt too wide at the front and I was concerned about the piping around the edges becoming an irritation. I also thing the ST stock seat looks right for the bike. For now I'm just dealing with it. The stock seat seems to be breaking in or my butt is conforming :)

If it comes to it, there is a reputable seat maker nearby who I will approach about restuffing....the seat that is.

So, I received today, as I eluded to earlier, a Corbin Gunfighter for my Street Twin.

Looks Badass, like all Corbin saddles VERY firm out of the box.

Snapped in, I threw a leg over it and just wow. Rode it around my block again wow. Just not feeling like I was on a swayback horse...WOW.

Tomorrow, I ride (today was Tiger Baseball day).
