Please elaborate . . . Does flatten mean reduce the padding? If not, what?

Guessing you are speaking of flattening those horrid points on the seat back? Even with those gone I don't think the stock seat would have worked for us; uncomfortable after lots of miles.
But, if it worked for you, great :clap:and you're sure right about the money saved.

Understood, we didn't like the seat either. Made the butt position very uncomfortable and yes pressing into the bones down there.
Happy riding.

I guess it all depends. I've done 13k+ on the stock seat. Seems fine to me.

I am politically incorrect, maybe I'm anatomically incorrect as well? :dontknow:

I get butt-sore on long rides -- but I find the seat fine too!
