    The coast to coast and cannonball are F3 accessories.
    549.99 for cc and 569.99 for the cannonball
    Thanks
    Toolie, I tried both the Cannonball and Coast to Coast on my F3-L. They were marginally better than stock (but not much). If you don’t want to throw good money after bad, bite the bullet a get a Russell Daylong. They are custom built for you, and as their name says, you can ride day long. They guarantee all day comfort. If they don’t achieve that first up, Russell will modify them until they do. Have a look at their reviews, which are glowing. I’m not sure why JP only gets 1.5 hours out of his Daylong, unless he hasn’t told Russell of his specific problem with his legs getting sore? .......and as Ann says, forget popularity. We are all different shapes and sizes and have differing riding needs. You might luck out with a particular brand of stock seat, but it is highly likely you won’t.

    Pete Daylong is the best. My butt does not get sore. It's my leg circulation I have trouble with. I just can't stay on a bike or in a car for more than 1-1/2 hours. I need to walk around then.

    This is why the seat is not the only consideration. A good seat combined with a good floorboard where you have options and room to move your legs around is important. The more comfortable seats will raise you up higher than stock so you no longer feel like you are part of the spyder but on top of it. That is why I did not like the ultimate. The Mustang was a little wider and the same height as stock. You still need to take breaks but I sometimes occupy my legs to keep them fresh by using them to push off like a skier. If I dont move them around from time to time, it affects my seat comfort.
