It is always amazing me to me how personal a saddle decision is. I have two B17s on more aggressive bikes. They felt great on day one. I can tell the feel is different on the Joe. It doesn't feel bad but not the same. I suspect a wider saddle would fit better. I might just try the B67 it is a really heavy seat but that probably doesn't make any difference if I already weigh '215.
