I like a woman with a tough butt, what were you thinking?
Get out more often, it will toughen up you butt, you big wuss
or get a seat from the 00-03 models, they have more foam than the 98-99 models.
The seat was changed in 00 and the passenger footrest hangers were lengthened and used rubbers on the footrests for more comfort
Fitting the newer model hangers will not affect the exhaust even though they are longer, but it will give a more comfortable ride for the passenger.
