I'm not familiar with the Flyer but if it is like the Conquest, which I have, the rails run lengthwise just about 1/4 - 1/2 inch below the leather so it doesn't take much to be riding the rails. Just yesterday, I took some fairly dense yet pliable packing foam I got at work and stuffed it between the rails and the leather. It worked pretty darn good for my 25 mile commute home. I think it's a keeper. For the record - When I test rode a Sam Hillborne at Rivendell back in 2012 it had a really old Brooks B-17(?) with a wad of pink stuff (foam?) jammed between the rails and the leather in a sloppy sort-of-way. IIRC it may have also been modified into an Imperial version. It was very very comfortable. That, combined with the Jack Brown tires is a level of comfort I've never been able to duplicate on my workhorse Sam. I'd give the foam trick a try before I started modifying the saddle.
