I read that and am looking at trying to slide my * back as far as i can and right now I got a d*** hump at the back which is fine but after riding 50 miles on it this weekend I realized I could use something a little more comfortable. below is kinda what I am looking to put on.

this is the exact reason that i decided to cafe my seat, those bumps really suck. especially if you have bumpy roads you ride.

yea most of our roads are really bumpy. I really dont want to mess up my stock seat as it is in great shape.
