I just received my max gel pad seat cushion made by American Motorcycle Specialities.  Wow. did that make a huge difference for me. Rode 100 miles today and it was unbelievable what a difference it made  I didnt slide forward and my butt wasn't sore. I'm not a spring chicken anymore and sitting for long rides is hard on my lower extrimities.  The seats on the DT 300 is terrible in my opinion.  My wife has a matching DT 300 bike and she is much shorter than me and she doesnt have any problems.  I ordered a large neoprene cover gel pad seat for$89 plus shipping.  I called and talked with the owner about my bike and the problems with the seat.  I mention that others on this forum had ordered one.  He ended up sending me the more expensive one with the sheepskin cover for the same price.  Excellent company to deal with.  Very nice qualitiy.  Check out thier website.  Just sayin that this may be an option for making the ride a little easier.

paulie, what does it look like? Since getting a new seat will not happen this might be the next best thing. And how does it stay on the seat?

mnpugdog.   You can go to the companies website that will have pics of all of the available seats.  They provide a strap that clips on to the underside of your seat and goes across the top of the seat.  Attached to the strap is a strip of Velcro.  The underside of the pad has a piece of Velcro which keeps it in place.  The bottom of the pad is made of neoprene.  I found that the seat stays in place without any type strap being used.  I got the large size and it worked great for me.  Hope this helps.  http://www.amspecialtiesusa.com/
