If you can pick up a gel pad. You can put it under a sheep skin and bungy strap it in place so that it doesn't slide around. That is about as quick a fix as I can come up with.

and don't forget that you can make haggis out of the rest of the parts....

axelwik , I ride this 1200 Wing pretty well almost every day (about 2500+ mi per month) as it is my main commuter bike. The seat really hasn't been a problem as I'm not sitting on it for that long at a time. It does start to bother me after an hour or so though.

There is a bike seat customizer near my home that will put a gel insert in it & change the rear slightly but that requires time. I just use this bike too much to be without a seat for that long.

I was hoping to make a quick re-work & be on my way but that doesn't look feasible now.

Okay... just an idea for the future. By the way, Corbin makes their own seat pans, so you would not be without a seat.

One time while riding in Canada I got pretty desperate. Was seriouslyuncomfortable so I duct-tapedone of those orangeThermarest camping matresses over the seat. It looked like hell but I rode it like that for the last 2000 miles of the trip without any more discomfort.
