I took a couple pics today to illustrate the difference in height between the OEM seat and the Ducati Performance Comfort seat.  The comfort seat is more comfortable but the stock seat is a bit lower and is better for spirited riding IMO.

Did a 700 klm twistie hunt last sunday with no problems. I have the comfort seat, and would recommend it.

The stock seat would have been torture after six hrs.

The comfort seat is a dream for long rides for the stock setup.
But it is higher.

The stock seat is torture for long rides.  I think 4-5 hours is about my limit on it.  I've done a few 150-200 mile days on it and I'm pretty sore and ready to get off at that point.

I did 2400km on it

Not all at once I trust?  :P

I've put 8,000 miles on my bike with most of it on the stock seat.  The longest single ride I've done is probably around 200 miles in one day with stops at various points throughout the ride so it was probably about 4.5-5 hours in the saddle.  I've done this a number of times actually... and while the rides themselves are great fun, it is enough to make me want to get off the bike badly by the time I get home.  ;)

1100 km in 14 hrs 1 day

Is there any way to put the cowl on if using the comfort seat?

fits. no issues

Does the comfort seat help with the intimate issue of the gas tank? I like the height, I need one after installing Woodcraft rear sets. I have Sargent seat now, just wondering if I can build it up to that height...doesn't seen to have enough upholstery. I would love to keep my Sargent for the storage compartment underneath.

 Have you considered contacting Sargent and asking them about modifying your seat?

 My comfort seat is four years old and the foam is starting to break down, I'm gonna take my stock seat and have a custom one made to my liking.

Mine is about the same age and still in perfect nick  [thumbsup] 

comfort seat is gel ;)

My fat ass and abnormaly large genitalia don't help   :P

Seems like the front 3" are flattening out. Even though I try to sit towards the rear of the seat.

I purchased a Saddlemen Track seat.  Even before I sold my DP seat.  It redefined comfort for $350.00.  No more annoying hot spot between the ol' butt cheeks and the Gel in the split saddle has been silly comfortable.  I had an issue with a couple of the bumpers coming off underneath and Saddlemen issued and immediate call tag.  They were so happy that I was cool about having to return it that they are going to send me a custom version in return.  A little flatter, red stitching and a red center piece to match my bike.

Screw Corbin, or the DP seats.  The Saddlemen is scary comfy and the customer service 10 stars.   [thumbsup]  [thumbsup]

I still wonder about water buildup on the Saddleman

If you pee yourself it would probably serve as a good bed pan?   [laugh]

You are looking at it all wrong;  If I pee myself it won't drip down the paint.  I call that an improvement  ;D!
