I had the same problem until I removed the second and third row of rubber bumpers from the bottom of the seat pan.  The 2nd row are about 1/4" thick, but the third row are big rubber blocks.  Now I don't have the sliding forward sensation any longer, and the seat is a bit more comfortable too.

If it last more than four hours you better see a doctor.

This sounds like an easy fix but with the bumpers off will the seat pan not make contact with the wiring, fuses or other components under there, if not I would be willing to give it a try. Just seems to me that the rubber bumpers would be there to keep the seat up and off those important parts.

I believe that's the mold for the Russel saddle.  :shoot:
