It's and odd thing about the saddle on a sport bike, and I'm not sure how others use the saddle to handle turns and lane changes but for me personally I don't want a tacky seat. I do put things that keep the saddle slippery and use that motion a LOT to make lane changes and merge on the expressway. I don't trust the blind spot enough to not twist and look. I removed the number 18 aftermarket seat from the PCX shortly after testing it because it cradled my butt too well and I felt like my visibility was hampered. Might just be me so I'm willing to entertain some criticism on the subject of slippery and cradled saddles.
I'm not quite sure how your'e built Homie, but i can surely turn my head easily for a visual check without moving my butt around when sitting on the scoot.
A side effect of riding sport bike. I'm all over the saddle sometimes and when jumping on the scoot it carries over. When I put the #18 (cradled) seat for PCX it was too restrictive and made me appreciate the stock design.

Ah, just checked that #18 seat and it looks like it will prevent you from sitting a more sporty position.

I have a slightly different problem when I go back to the pcx. I have to be more "delicate" as it's much more sensitive to inputs. So I end up being a lot more still.
