Super Meteor 650 Regular seat issue.

I have a Super Meteor with a regular seat, but it is very uncomfortable on longer rides. Even my balls go numb if I ride for more than 50 min at highway speed.
I have ordered the deluxe touring seat and installed it, haven't yet taken it out for a longer ride but I don't like the look of it.
question: What are some other options I have? Has anyone else got the same issue and how did you rectify it?

Theres a youtube video by teacher in thailand where he modifies a stock seat by adding some gel padding. Ive not watched it yet. But it might be worth a look.
i found the factory seat uncomfortable as well. I think it might be designed for a smaller person. I am over 6 feet tall and about 230 lbs. The good news is the touring seat seems to have solved the problem for me.

We should get a list of customizers for India, Thailand, UK etc going on this forum with their phone numbers/web sites and drop ship times.

I'm also on the lookout for custom seating mainly to change out seats for bad weather. Everyone knows Hitchcock but vendors who do custom upholstery and machining deserve some ❤.

C bow mounts as well. I have them on my Interceptor. The soft panniers were from Germany and cost a lot but the charges for collecting the import duty was mad £50 to the PO for £6 duty.
