Give Seth Laam a call (http://laamseats.com/). He's located in Redding, CA and does great seat work using your existing OEM seat frame. I'm very happy with how my seat turned out and I know there are a lot of other peeps on here that feel the same way. Maybe you can come by his shop and he'll get you all set up before you head east. Good luck!

Last night I read Laam Seats takes 'ride in' appointments. You need to call and setup an appointment.Loke said:
Not sure where you are in California...
... Corbin (Hollister) http://corbin.com/ridein/ takes 'Ride In' without an appointment and they will buy you a meal. I have had a Corbin on my KLR since 2006.
... Bill Mayer http://billmayer-saddles.com/ is in Ventura. His seats are OK. Quality is good. I have ridden mine more than 40,000 miles.
.. Russell Day Long Seats https://www.day-long.com/ are in Redding and well known world wide.
Yep, that is three motorcycle seats company's in Redding CA
I've got 2 Airhawks and can loan you the big old one if I can get to a post office in the next 2 days. It works IF you use it the way an Airhawk should be, in only putting in enough air that you think it is not quite yet inflated. The issue with this one is that my son over-inflated it to become a football and if you put in enough air to feel lifted, then it's horribly squishy and unstable.
It's the 18" x 12" cruiser version shown below but with NO loops to tie it down so you'll need to do something for retention. Feel free to sew a couple of loops to the cover.
pm me your name & address if you want to try it.

My suggestion is to buy and use an Airhawk. Cheaper than a plane ticket.
Plus just try this one very simple thing: stand up on the pegs every now and then. It amazes me how many people buy a custom built seat when standing up can make a world of difference.
Its not that I'm too cheap, either. I have 4 bikes. I often buy that many in a year. I ride all of them 1000+mile days, including the scooters. Getting stock seats modded or sourced for every new bike that comes along would be mad.
Just take a load off for 30 seconds or so every 30 mins to 2 hours.
