Default Corbin seat for rc51

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has had experience with the Corbin seat or the sergent seat on an RC51. As I think everyone knows the RC51 has a piece of plywood for a seat and was wondering if the Corbin type seat was worth right at $300 for. The seat doesn't bother me on the RC now until I get into about an hour or so of riding and me and my friend is planning on taking a trip to the beach on our bikes which is about a 3-4hr trip and thinking my butts going to be hurting with the stock seat.

Anyone had any experience with it? did it help alot?

My HRC foam seat pad is more comfortable than the stock seat.

Yes that's the HRC pad that I have. I had to trim it.

This is where I got it: http://www.hiperform.com/

I had to trim a pretty big chunk out of the seat pad to get it to fit my Sharkskinz tail section properly. I glued it with 3M Super 77 spray contact adhesive which worked very well.

I wish my rear cowl was solid and didn't need my stock seat but oh well. It's race only and I'm rarely on the seat as is.
