    I sent my stock seat to: https://www.sargentcycle.com/ and had the "riding platform" moved rearward, and the seat "upfoamed" and re-contoured. (And a colored welt added.) It was a lot less expensive than an unavailable aftermarket seat, they did a superb job and it is holding up fine 13K miles later...
    The people there were really great to work with, I sent them photos of the stock seat with crude (MS Paint) indications of what I wanted. They called me, we discussed, and they did it up right.

    Unfortunately, the aftermarket has not been kind to the Radian. They didn't exactly fly out of the showrooms in '86; and the aftermarket tends to favor the more popular bikes.
