There are several options from remortgaging the house and buying a Corbin, to Bagster (sell a kidney) or a local upholsterer (I used Core seats in Lincoln). There are also various gel pads...You'll know pretty quickly - I only lasted 300 miles.
Didn't have a problem with the stock seat comfort but then I'm used to rock hard KTM seats, but I did find it too low (I'm 5ft. 11).

Managed to get an as new Suzuki "Tuck and Roll" seat for £100 on eBay which I find is just enough higher (plus I prefer the look).
