> Why do manufacturers make such lousy stock seats?

After having a Corbin on my ST for so long I find it very difficult to go
back to the softer stock seats that the manufacturers supply. So much so
that I'm looking at ordering a Corbin or Sargent for both the Guzzi and the
K1200.

I can understand the manufacturers using the seat pans and upholstery
materials that they do. It keeps down weight and manufacturing costs. I also
appreciate that the OE seats are designed as much for form as for function.
But surely the closed cell foam used by the seat specialist companies can't
be all that more expensive than the useless soft foam the factories use. The
seats on the 955 STs would end up as a thin layer of compressed foam pancake
after just a couple of hundred miles.
