I actually rode mine for about 6-8 weeks with just the plastic seat pan. My butt never got numb like it did with all that stock padding. I've got thin, dense foam on mine now and couldn't be happier. If you find out you don't like it, at least you'll get a better feel of how much firmness/softness you need and maybe have a better mod outcome.

interesting how that looks exactly like a horse saddle and when I used to ride horses I never got sore or numbness even after 2 hours of riding.
i'm just chicken to modify the seat and ruin the LE seat... maybe this will be a winter project when i'm not using the bike everyday.
