This is the problem I found when trying Street Triples.

The seat problem is caused by the fashion for the rear subframe to be sharply angled up.
Doesn't have to be like that, compare the Z900 with the Z900RS
Suzuki need to do a proper job on an SV retro with a lowered rear and a flatter seat as per the Z900RS.
Proper mudguards would be nice too.

Given the seat height is a whole 2cm lower than a curvy, I'm guessing there's plenty of room to flatten the angle a bit with some firm padding?

Yep, you could easily add material to the front part of the seat to make a bigger flat section.
