The V-strom needs a different seat!

Put over 200 miles on the bike for work today and my ass is sore! I had ordered a new gel seat, but it didn't come in until after work today. However, Suzuki claims it's a quarter-inch lower than stock, but it's actually three-quarters of an inch taller. How they did that math is beyond me. I thought the Japanese were supposed to be good with math! Anyway, the gel seat won't work as it's just too tall, so I need to send it back. Looking at Corbins, but damn, they're pricey. Need to get something soon, not sure my ass can take sitting on that seat for 500 miles down to GA for the rally!
