I'm a little late to this party but I can say I've had a Fisher saddlebags dual sport seat on my '11 for two years now and I won't ever ride another dirt bike without one. Mine is also an inch taller as well as added width.
HahahabaJajhaja! Looks like its designed to sit way back.
I shave my seats down as im short and barely bave any padding. I ride 30-60 miles usually, no butt problems. But I also stand 75%

Not sure what's funny? Not everybody stands all the time. I know some very fast guys who sit as much as they stand. I have read nothing but good things about the Fisher seats.

The saddle is funny looking, gety up!
Wasn't laughing about sitting, I just prefer standing. Settle down Coop...

Haha I'm not excited. I just wasn't sure what you were laughing at. Lots of dual sport guys use those wide seats so I guess I am used to looking at them and it looked normal to me
.There is another company Seat Concepts that does something similar. It doesn't look as high of quality, but is much cheaper and looks good enough. My wife sits a lot and I am going to get her one this winter.

I have used Seat Concepts before on my last WR250R dual sport. The problem is they will only make one for the bikes listed. They do not make custom seats. I tried to get one for my wife's DR200 and they said nope. I have heard if you donate your seat and foam they will, but they told me no.

Ive owned a few bikes with ridiculously uncomfortable seats over the years but the Gasser just takes the biscuit 
People on other forums who talk of awful seats on bikes have no idea just how bad it can get !
The last two 100 mile'ish rides ive done: ive come back and had a few sore spots, coupled with a slightly painful back. Im sure its because in the end i sit off-centre (Both ways) on the bike trying to give my butt a rest and spread the pain around !
Was slightly better this ride, due to some new and pretty well padded trousers. My next purchase will be some padded cycling shorts which im told works wonders for the butt-comfort.........

I have a tall/soft Gutz seat on mine. Waaaaaay better than a stocker. +1 on the cycling shorts...just remember cycling shorts are not all create equal. Spend a bit more for good ones. The folks at any bike store should be thrilled to sell more than entry level gear.Ive owned a few bikes with ridiculously uncomfortable seats over the years but the Gasser just takes the biscuit

Has any one tried to take the seat cover off and drill some holes in the foam?

I can only imagine binning the seat altogether and sitting on the subframe would make it 'alot better' !
I have the tall/soft Gutz seat too and it is the best money that I ever spent. A huge improvement. I was wearing padded KTM shorts with the stock seat and it was still uncomfortable. That stock GasGas seat was like sitting on a piece of rough cement.

My buddy still has the stock Euro 2x4 on his '12 300e...I ride his bike about 90% standing. The remaining 10% is spent standing. It's the only way to avoid monkey-butt on his bike.

Sound butt-Heaven. Do you have any pictures by any chance ?
Brilliant
Apart from if you still have the stock Euro 2x4 like me.........
