I just did a two day 600 mile ride on my S using the guzzi comfort seat - I found it very comfortable and appreciate the extra little leg room that the tall seat gives.I have around 4300 miles on my "S" now. The seat works for me on short excursions, but as I discovered on the trip to the MOA Rally in Virginia, I needed help in the "seat" department. Just happened to be a "Wild Ass Seat Cushion" vendor who set me up with a great solution. I've since used it on a couple of other longer trips and works great! I also got the BIONDI mid-high touring screen. Wish I would have opted for the taller one. At 5'11' the mid size screen is adequate, but then, this isn't a Gold Wing either!
