Welcome back!  Bigok

What aspect of the Blackbird is uncomfortable to you? It's entirely possible that a simple mod could improve it.

Or do you mean that just riding in general is making you uncomfortable?

I wish it were 45 degrees here. I'm looking out the window at snow on the streets.   Sad

I mean it's just not a really "comfortable" bike.  It's ok. It's fine for commuting but after an hour or so I'm sort of done. I have VFR bars and for a sportbike it's comfortable.

Would an aftermarket seat help, or some other ergonomic adjustments?

You should probably just quit. We already have enough drama queens here.

First post: I get bored....and wish I was in a car.  Last post: I could often care less about riding it for leisure.  Sell motorcycle, get in car.
