ride a yfz seat you will love the ex seat.

you can get replacement foam from ceet and other companies but I do not know if they are better or not.

I think the 400ex seat is great... Like someone posted above, ride a YFZ seat (basically a board) and youll have a newfound appreciation for the La-z-boy on your EX....

Get a Hi Flight seat. They are like a foot tall! Or you could get some of those bike shorts.

My Raptor's seat is hands down much better than my 400... if theres some different foam i could put in there that would be great

my Ceet looks just like the Hi Flite that insaneracin2003 posted..

i ride in the front of the seat, so I wish the rear of the pad wasnt so high.. but it still feels good after a couple of hours.. :D

i just bought a complete seat, including the pan, very nice cover and the best of all, some really nice foam for $10.49 + $20 shipping.

i think i got lucky on the price. Ebay is having problems right now and i can't give you the name of the guy i bought it from, but i will post again with that info.
