I put a sheepskin over the foam and was surprised how good it is, might even be better than the stock for me. The Russell will lift me an inch higher and I'll be at nose bleed then.ColoRider said:I think I will need to use a piece of sheep skin to cover the saddle for my trip to Texas in 10 days. Even with the mod done to reduce the forward tilt, the saddle just plan sucks. Way too soft and the texture limits almost all movement. I fear that even with large amounts of GB powder, I will be hurting by the time I get back home.
