I have a thread stickied above this detailing how I shaved mine to let me sit lower and then further back. I then used a gel numnah off Ebay on top of it (this bit is not shown in the thread). It would have been better if I had cut a recess for it to sit in in the foam as it has moved a bit to the side in a year. Still really comfy though. I've basically got about 3cm of stock foam and then 3cm of very soft gel to sit on and it is great. I'd like it to be a teeny bit lower TBH. I may look into getting JUST gel on there for the rider's seat!After a nice 150mile trip on the FZ6 Fazer my rear is aching from probably the most uncomfortable seat ever! how do you guys improve the seats?

After tampering with my stock seat for 2 years, I finally gave in and got a used corbin. Best thing ever. Takes a while to break in but after adding, removing and shaving foam for the stock seat, I have come to the conclusion that FIRM and SHAPE is better than soft; hence the corbin.
Memory foam sucked for me. I think the best would be to add gel, as it keeps its form.
The most comfortable that I had the seat was by shaving it and adding firmer foam to it; the kind that you use as carpeting underlay.
Hope that helps.
you might try an Airhawk seat pad as an alternative.
