I've had the GTL since March and I'm pleased with almost everything about it BUT my wife has been complaining nonstop because she isn't as comfortable as she was on the LT.
She doesn't like sitting higher, gets too much wind, has a hard time climbing on and off, has less room fore and aft, can't reach the grab handles, and most importantly hates the seat. The feeble sides with no support mean that the grab rails are pushing into the back of her thighs and she is miserable after a hundred miles or less.
I'm considering a Bill Mayer saddle but don't want to have the bike out of service waiting for the seat to travel back and forth. Also it seems like in order to get the side suport the seat is going to be quite a bit thicker which will put her higher into the wind and exacerbate the mounting/dismounting problem. I did add some foot peg risers but she claims that only made it worse.
Other than replacing my spouse, which would be way too expensive, any advice or suggestions?
