You paid how much? Do yourself a favour and check this out...
I had a lovely fellah near Brighton replace some of the foam in my standard wooden Yam seat with memory foam.
He did it while I waited and charged me a mere £75 (he does mail order too).
The result is super comfy and much cheaper.

Hey Smurf.....the seat seems to be the same height more or less and if it is taller it's not noticeable and I'm only 5' 8" although it's a bugger trying to swing your leg over the hump when your old and vertically challenged.
Just come back after giving the seat it's first 200 plus mile run and I can still walk which is more than I could do with the stock seat. It wasn't super comfortable because the new seat feels hard but I can still squash the foam with my thumb when I'm sitting on it so I guess it will need a couple of thousand miles to break it in. There's no sliding forward under heavy breaking but it does alter you riding position slightly although I can't work out whether it's up, back, forward or what but I had to adjust my mirrors so it's changed something to how I normally sit. Was it worth £319 well only time will tell but I'll let you know when I've put a few more miles on it.
Hey Fluke. I had a standard seat re-foamed, gel pads and new basket weave cover by Custom Motorcycle Seats, Coventry and I just didn't like the feel of it when it was done. It made it slightly higher and I just couldn't get on with it so if anyone want's to try it send me a message.

I've had the SR seat on for about 6000 miles now. Love it to bits compared to the piece of shite oem seat

Hi mate
sorry to hear your seat refoaming didn't work out.
Chris, who did mine used the same cover (basically unpicked the staples and re stapled it at the end) and kept the shape the same. If you saw my bike, you'd not see any difference. But when you sit on it...
Hope you find your seat gets comfy, if not, you could always try Chris.
Cheers

Top Sellerie seat update.
6000 miles on this seat and it looks as good as it did when I first got it. It's still very firm, in fact it doesn't seem to have softened up at all but no pressure points and no slipping forward so it still makes for a reasonably comfortable ride and a 200 to 300 mile day isn't impossible and I've done that sort of mileage in a day more than once so I speak from experience.
Possibly the addition of the gel inserts might have made this an even better seat but that raises the price quite considerably and I wasn't prepared to spend that much on a seat.
