Any way to stop damage to comfort seat?

A member posted a while back that he put the soft side of some little round Velcro pieces on the front of the seat, so that the Velcro would slide on the tank not the seat. Looked like a good idea. I have over 5000 miles on my comfort seat no problem yet. And I haven't done anything but ride on mine. I've seen pics of the problem I just haven't experienced it.

What actually damages the paint/seat is the up and down movement of the seat at the front, due to a large gap it shouldn't be there. And also due to the seat being too tight at the edges, due to having the wrong curvature. That's baffling, since it uses the same base as stock, which is perfect. At any rate, I solved both potential issues a little different than RedAndBlack. Since I didn't want the seat any higher than it already was, I glued a thick washer cut in half under the front tab where the seat latches into (invisible), but before that, grinded the leading edge at a 45º angle so the seat could slip under it easier. It required some trial and error, until I found one that eliminated the gap while still being relatively easy to latch the seat. I just had to push the seat down harder to latch it, but easily done. In addition, I added soft Velcro rectangles (in black) exactly where the edges touch the paint once seat is latched, just in case there was any movement. Since my bike is black, they're basically invisible unless you look at them an inch from them. Finally, I also adjusted the seat latch as rearward as possible, to minimize the pressure the seat edges were putting against the tank. I was surprised at the amount of work I had to do on an OEM seat, but didn't have any alternative, so just went ahead and did it. I didn't want any seat 'skins', and neither the ultra tall and heavy Corbin seat. By now, Sargent should be out with their seat, so newer buyers should have another alternative. I've owned a few, and much prefer them over Corbins, especially for light folks. They're cheaper, more comfortable (at least to me), lighter, and with seat storage, so never bought another Corbin after that. Hope this helps.
