New seat advice

[DJTJ]

Hey all! Its almost riding season up here in the great white north, and I really need a new seat. I have been using the gel seat since I bought the bike new, and it just has to go. I can't ride for more than 2 or 3 hours without my ass KILLING me. I know a lot of you like the gel seat, but it's just not for me. I have my original seat somewhere (I hope) I was thinking if I could find it, maybe go back to it?

Im 6' 4", about 320 lbs.

I've poked around online, I know corbin is good (Don't know if i want to shell out $400 plus for a seat) - I found one saddlemen, but they have 3 or 4 models.

I'm just confused. Anyone got any recommendations for a reasonable price? I appreciate it!

Attached a pic, just cause I know everyone likes pics!! (and i have no idea how to turn it properly, it shows up fine on my pc lol)

thanks all!!!

Seats are like oil or tire brands, everyone will have something they like and will recommend. I like Corbin and Tobin. Rode many a mile on both.

true statement

FWIW, I am 70 inches tall, 30-in inseam and weigh around 190+ (with gear and luggage if traveling), bike has helibars. I have tried the stocker, Suz Gel, Corbin and Saddlemen and have nothing negative to say about any of them. Why did I try different seats then? Well I am a sucker for bargains/deals and came upon the Corbin and Saddlemen for cheap in the Classifieds here.

Have done multi-day rides on the Corbin but was a bit too stiff for my taste (probably needed to be broken in more). Still have to try the Saddlemen on a decent long trip but have been happy with it so far.

Planning to try the Airhawk that Tim (Pasnit) is a fan of.....and he knows a thing or two about LOOOONG distance riding.
