None of the stock Buell XB seats were exactly awesome. IMO, the standard seat is more comfortable than the CX seat. The CX seat is taller, but felt mushy...it was annoying on longer rides. The Buell Select seat is pretty nice, Corbins are even better. Sometimes they show up on fleabay. btw, I rode about 50k on two Buell XB9S(x), most of that was on a Corbin
