Does the KPX have a comfortable seat or uncomfortable seat? I was asking due to your 'longest single ride of 215 miles' in particular.

My KPX is doing quite well as well. I haven't had any issues other than a bad battery as well. I'm around 1,000 miles. I ride it to work all the time, alternating between it and the Goldwing. I average 78 mpg. Good to see she will roll thousands of miles more LOL. As far as the seat, I found that if I slide back on the seat a tad to the more wider point of the seat it's much more comfortable. Is it as comfy as a Hawk or Brozz seat? No, but it works ifn yer back side gets sore stand up a while LOL

How much seat fabric overlaps and fixes to the base?
It might be possible to add a layer of foam to fatten up the seat and flatten the slope. If its already a firm proposition then it might not be suitable for an adjustment... |

I don't think I could do 200mi straight on the stock seat. My backside starts hurting by about 1hr of riding. I definitely think it needs a pad for longer rides.
