Well, I think that after some other 250 miles tours your backs will be
trained to narrow seat! :) Just kidding!
I remember that some years ago (perhaps ten) I saw in a motorcycle shop a
flat pillow for seat: it was designed to avoid summer back sweating while on
plastic seat duirng summer. A friend of mine bought one for his Suzuki DR
and it worked fine for sweating.
Why don't you look for such a pillow and try to thicken it to have a more
comfortable seat?

>PS I am writing this standing up.
Take an ice bag and seat down on it!

BTW, is AT common in UK?


greetings, 

Lorenzo
