I like my Lysette solo seat so far. Haven't had it for more than a few hundred miles, though. I bought a gel pad to increase comfort, but haven't used it yet.

Some day, when it gets beat enough, I'll have it recovered in thick leather.

Just a note to 1blackwolf1.  Original Kawasaki saddles have ALWAYS been butt busters.  I had a '98 Vulcan Classic.  I could not ride more than 75 miles without real pain.  I replaced the manufacturers saddle with a Mustang saddle.  It was amazinig.  The Mustang saddle was like it had been custom made for my butt.  I replaced the the '98 Classic with a 2002 Nomad.  Again, the Kawi seat was a butt buster.  A new Mustang seat was several hundred $.  The fit of the old Mustang saddle I had on The Classic was close enough that with minor alterations I was able to mount it on The Nomad.  That old saddle has 55,000 plus miles on it and going strong.  I've had several 12 hour plus days on it with no discomfort at all.  If you still have The Drifter I would recommend a Mustang saddle for it.
