First impression; it's a big improvement.
I feel a little lower, a little bit more forward. The pillon acts as a back rest. The seat is wider, and more supportive.
I'll post again after I have the chance to ride longer.
Awesome! When did you order yours? I'm hoping mine ships soon. I'm definitely glad to hear it's even wider than the stock seat, my fat ass needs all the support it can get.

LouM50, there are a few options you might consider. Corbin makes a Classic Solo seat which can be ordered alone (just the driver seat) or with the pillion. You used to be able to get them from Oneida Suzuki, but they appear to not be selling the classic solo anymore. You might have to get that one direct from Corbin.

If you really want to get low in the saddle, you might also look at the Corbin Stinger and Saddlemen Profiler. Both of those have a pillion section, but it's about 2-3" wide and not really meant for a passenger to sit on for long. Their main feature is that the driver's seat is pretty thin, dropping you down into the bike several inches from stock.

Finally, there's a Granucci Hale Bopp seat that is made for the C50 which will fit an M50 with some minor modifications. If you do a search on this forum you should find a thread where somebody did that. The Granucci is probably the lowest saddle you can get, it looks almost like a seat pan with a mousepad and a cover on it. Don't know how comfortable that would be for any length of time though.
