Best seat for overweight rider?

[Saylin]

So I am a bit on the big side, 6 foot 4 and close to 300 lbs and am done with the stock seat. Where I live all trips are a minimum of 30-45 minutes one way and that is about the longest I can last on the stock seat without having to stop.

I am wondering what after market seat is going to work best for me. TS? Corbin? Sargent?

Just looking for some input, I also would not mind a seat that is raised slightly.

Scroll about halfway down this page:

and check out the "tall" Corbin seat. Looks like it's exactly what you would need.

while that seat does not look as "cool" as some of the TS seats I really don't care as long as it is comfortable

I seem to be having a problem finding one on corbin's website though. Do I have to maybe send them an email and get is custom made for a 2005?

I don't think that the tall version of the seat is on the website. If you call and talk to a rep though they should be able to help you out. I've seen a few people with custom modified seats (lengthened, etc.).

Working on it, gotta keep riding in the mean time though right?

you can get seat covers that just go over the existing seat, these may help gain a little height and more comfort
