Hey guys. I'm about to acquire a 2013 nc(dct). It has the stock seat. What aftermarket seat is getting the best reviews from you folks? Thanks...Dan

Between the Shad, Corbin, and Sargent (or any other seat brand that come to y'alls mind) which one is the softest, or "squishiest" feeling, of the bunch? I would also really appreciate any knowledge of which one makes your seat height the tallest. I'm about 6'1" and roughly 200 lbs with around a 34" inseam so the pegs without lowering them keep me a little crammed so whichever seat was the tallest is most likely gonna be the one I want just because of overall comfort not just my bum. Hopefully I would like my seat pretty squishy too though, however I do workout regularly and squat 300lbs easily so my glutes are well developed from 4 years of high school football and been toned for 300+ mile rides on my old Honda XR650L going to Deals Gap and back every few weekends, taking different route of course, ranging from 275 to 325 mile round trip days. Yet the NC700X I have now, being a better motorcycle to pull a 300 mile day on obviously, my tailbone gets uncomfortable and this seat isn't as "squishy" as my XR seat was neither is it wide enough. Granted it is wider than the XR seat but it still isn't quite supportive enough on its own. I've heard the best reviews on Sargent fitting the bill when it comes to what I'm looking for in a seat but I could be mislead some also by these claims so any information that anyone can provide is highly valued by me and thank y'all very much in advance!
I have no issues with the stock seat, it got more comfortable with the miles and especially after lowering the rear end about an inch. Not even suggesting that an expensive aftermarket seat wouldn't feel better but you may be surprised. ...Now if you plan to do 10 hours for your break in ride, you may feel differently. It's like riding a peddle road bike, your first ride after a long break is going to leave an impression that hurts on the next ride but a week (and 5 rides) later you feel fine on it for 3+ hours.

Has anyone tried the Russell on the nc?
