I just got a Hunqa w/ a sprung Brooks and can comfortably ride it w/ regular shorts, no padding etc. That being said, on a B-17 et al, try taking some tension out of it at first and then cranking in the turns as needed. Conforms to your bones a bit easier. Don't forget the Proofide from time to time. YMMV.
