Need help picking a seat

hello ever one so i just got a 2016 f800gs took it on a 3 day trip and man i need a new seat can you guys give me any advice. thanks alot
Title actually reads kinda funny........Welcome to the forum!
'09 F800GS- stock....rough. Stock seat and Alaskan sheep skin (nice people to deal with), somewhat better. Sergeant seat, a bit better. Airhawk on Sargent is about as good as it has been. I guess it's the Noassatol that is the main problem. If I could do a drive in to Russell Day Long- I would.
If you find something, post it up if you can.

Low Seat Try Out in Jacksonville Florida
Hello, does anyone have a low seat I can try in the Jax, Fl area? I'd like to see how it affects overall ergonomics on my (new to me) R1150 RTP before making the "investment" and if I would need peg lowering adapters. I'm 5'9" and have about a 30" inseam, with boots I'm on the balls of my feet now. Thanks!

Traded my beloved '05RT with Russell Day Long for '17 F800GS stock seat
Rode 200 miles home from Max's in Troy with new bike. Love the bike, but oh my aching bottom!! Intend to get new Russell DayLong after riding season. Any suggestions for short term relief till I can send in the pan to Russell?? Really want to ride the new toy as much as possible rest of July, Aug, and Sept. My butt can't take the stock seat that long without some help.
Suggestions please.
Thanks.

Probably the Airhawk inflatable with the right amount of inflation will get you by. I'd be interested in hearing about the RDL when you get it

Airhawk inflatable
Thanks Gary. Never heard of it, so will do some research.
In fact, I bought the GS with a lowered suspension and am counting on the RDL to raise me up an inch or so to make it about perfect. That's what happened with the RT so I bought Wilburs to lower the bike an inch or so. Worked out perfectly.
