First farkle not so sparkly but amazingly functional. No where's Waldo?

East face of the Allegheny Front.
Joey and Jason, thanks for planting a seed for starting with the seat. While researching solutions, an Airhawk ad popped up, triggering a memory. I went on the hunt for my cruiser phase storage bin and sure enough, a medical-grade gel pad turned up.
A blue bird sky prompted an early day test run. Fits my sit bones almost like a custom fitment. And very neutral seating, no more forward push. Knees and butt way more comfy. Foot controls access is fine. Reach to the ground A-OK. Astounded by the degree of improved comfort! So much so that combined with a 1-inch up and an ambidextrous 1-inch fore òr aft handlebar riser block, I may well be looking at all day comfort!
Now first farkle monies can go where I'd rather...pilot and bike protection. Awaiting the aftermarket to catch up on the bike protection. Have been told mid-July ballpark, so not a long wait.
An aside, I feel a little naked in street motorcycle garb. But the good news is that my relatively fresh mesh riding britches no longer stay up rather, they now fall right off my hips! That there is a damn fine first world problem!
Next experiment...is there enough adjustment in the shift lever to allow use of my dual sport boots???
Out to wash and fluff my "new" kick azz fluffy seat cushy cover.
