Default The nut cruncher...

Anyone know of some sort of aftermarket padding made for sport bikes. Quite bluntly I'm uncomfortable on this bike, and it's to the point I'm actually considering selling as I don't fit very well on the bike.

I thought I'd get used to it but the bikes a bit too small, my legs are bent a little more that 45 degrees and this puts the pelvic region right into the tank, I seriously wonder if I wrecked this bike into anything if I'd be able to have children.

The mirrors just don't go out far enough to give me good rear view vision either, might have to see about some aftermarket mirrors, right now what I mostly see is my shoulders.

But regarding the title of the post, anyone know of a product made to make the tank a little less uncomfortable? Ya know, some padding of some sort? I suppose a custom saddle might make it better but at around $350 that's a pretty big gamble for a bike I may decide to sell.
