my wife and I have been experimenting
a neoprene sleeve, biker shorts make the stock seat bearable for a couple hours.
lower foot pegs are next on the list.
Q
Have you checked out these?
http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/MFW-1/Controls/MFW-1.htmlThey also come in a 50mm version - might be too much stress for them to be safe (?), but the 30mm are reported to be strong enough to stand on.
I know the passenger pegs are different from the rider's, so make sure you get the right part # IF you choose these.
